Mental illness is considered a disabling condition. Mental illness can be a severe issue that can prevent people from being able to work. Because of this, it is vital to seek legal help when making a disability claim. This is especially true if cognitive impairments caused by psychological conditions can make it challenging to present a case effectively.
Some people with impairments might have a good presentation and be wrongly seen as not impaired or disabled. For example, an insurer could claim that someone with good cognitive skills is not impaired and, therefore, not disabled.
