Before WOLLMAN, ARNOLD, and GRUENDER, Circuit Judges.
                         ____________

PER CURIAM.
       Christine Brown appeals the district court’s1 order affirming the denial of
supplemental security income and disability insurance benefits. We disagree with
Mrs. Brown that the administrative law judge (ALJ) did not adequately account for
her mental impairments in determining her residual functional capacity (RFC), see
Buford v. Colvin, 824 F.3d 793, 796 (8th Cir. 2016) (it is claimant’s burden to
establish RFC); and we conclude that substantial evidence on the record as a whole
supports the ALJ’s adverse decision, see Ash v. Colvin, 812 F.3d 686, 689-90 (8th
Cir. 2016) (substantial evidence is enough that reasonable minds would find it
adequate). The judgment of the district court is affirmed.
                      ______________________________

      1
        The Honorable Erin Setser, United States Magistrate Judge for the Western
District of Arkansas, to whom the case was referred for final disposition by consent
of the parties pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 636(c).
