Yes. Mental health conditions that prevent you from working can qualify you for Social Security Disability. Disability benefits are not only for physical ailments.
Social Security’s official list of qualifying impairments includes anxiety, bi-polar disorder, depression, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and many others.
You can also combine mental health conditions with other health problems to create a strong claim for benefits. At Wells, Manning, Eitenmiller & Taylor, we talk to many Oregonians whose mental health challenges form all or part of their disability claims.
