anxiety disorder disability

ve been diagnosed with -social personality disorder, -Paranoid anxiety disorder, - bipolar. Im always depressed or agressive. Im on meds, zolaf, risperdol, valproic acid, and ativans?

I have Borderline Personality Disorder with Post Traumatic Stress and Severe Anxiety. I'm on Geodon, Lexapro, and Nurontin. I have been fired or had to quit several jobs because of this disorder. I just simply can't hold down a job. I want to apply for disability but am afraid to for fear of going through that long process and paper work and telling people that I can't work at the age of 28. I'm afraid of being turned down and having no way to support myself.

I have been diagnosed with bipolar 2 disorder, ocd, general anxiety, social anxiety, and panic disorder. I can not go back to work and was forced to resign my job because of this. What are my chances of getting disability. I have 2 kids to support and need some income. It says that I don't have enough work credits(20).

My diagnoses are the same as yours I think. Bipolar 1, General Anxiety Disorder, PTSD. I think the depression is just part of the bipolar disorder. Anyways I hope you get it...good luck.

I seem to show all of the signs of Borderline Personality Disorder as well and it seems that depression and anxiety stem from that. I just want to know if any one out there is on disability and if they can tell me how good my chances are of getting it. I just can't stand this anymore! Everything in life is such a struggle and I feel like I'm going to snap on someone. I feel like I can't do anything.

Hello everybody. I'm just wondering how many of you are on disability for bipolar. I've dealt with it practically all my life, but was just diagnosed.

Is anyone here on SSDI for Panic and Anxiety? I am currently unable to work. I lost my job due to this disorder. How difficult is it to get SSDI for Panic and GAD if you are unable to work due to these conditions. TIA...

Its not confidential information but it would take up a page to print the criteria for anxiety disorder. Best thing is to pm me. As with anxiety disorder along with any criteria its not the disability itself its how it affects your ability to work. They look at past work history. Then they look at current level of social functioning and ability to do basic skills such as cook, clean and wash. Relating to people. Understanding and comprehending things.

Anyone here have an anxiety disorder and on SSI or Disability and if so how did you get it? What the hell do you have to say to your doctor or the SSI Admin/Gov. to make them understand how bad you feel & that you cannot work? I do not understand is there something im missing? In 13 years ive been in & out of the mental hospital to,countless appointments ive takin a bunch of meds & nothing seems to help (except the addictive ones). I even got a lawer & went to a hearing.

m parked by the computer a lot. I do take Klonopin which is helpful on anxiety disorder. Most people with anxiety disorder are able to relieve it with a combination of medication, talk therapy and behavioral therapy. There is help available. It does sound like a frightening situation you are going through and the best thing to do is seperate your issues from the person you are living with as it sounds like they are making your life worse.

ve come to the conclusion that maybe she has a learning disability or some kind of mental disorder that is not allowing her to learn....As parents we are very concerned for our daughter and are eager to find a solution. She also claimed to not be able to read print in school, so we took her to a optometrist who told us that her eyes are perfectly fine...We are besides ourselves with what to do....

I am new to the area and theres not many psychiatrist that will take state insurance, I am on disability for having extreme bipolar disorder and anxiety along with occasional night terrors need medication asap. any information will help thank yall!!

I was awarded full disability in the UK for Post Interferon syndrome-fatigue and pain being my main issues but anxiety and interferon induced depression also play a part.Have you tried speaking to your liver people about a diagnosis for disability benefit purposes?I was batted from pillar to post for 5 years prior to diagnosis but got there in the end.I do hope you find a sympathetic dr to help with your cause.

First line treatment is cognitive behavioural therapy for OCD or panic disorder, and metacognitive therapy for GAD and social anxiety disorder. If medications are to be used, it would be SSRI or SNRI, and in some cases a small dose of atypical antipsychotics. Benzos are avoided in the treatment of anxiety disorders (they are almost only used for situational anxiety like stage fright or fear of flying).

Good question. I am always torn between trying to defend myself and my "disorder" to the uninformed who often see it as a disability (when the effects of it are largely responsible for many of my assets) and getting people to understand how debilitating it has proven in my life. Political correctness is responsible for many of these changes.

How can I find a psychiatrist and/or counselor who knows both ADD in adult women, and Social Anxiety Disorder well enough to help a person who suffers from both to get through the Social Security Disability process? This will be in two parts because I exceeded the maximum length.

At this moment my VA disability rating is being raised (hopefully) because my SLE is a service connected disability and the Bipolar disorder and ADHD are secondary conditions resulting from the lupus and require further review and a higher disability rating.

I had huge problems with my heart because of Lyme. My heart would skip a beat all the time (arrhythmia). That was pretty scary and I spent a lot of time in ERs... At times it felt like it would completely stop. I also had palpitations. One thing that helps reduce arrhythmia is magnesium supplements. I take 450 mg mag glycinate every day. Other good sources of magnesium: citrate and lactate. And I too have been suffering from panic disorder for many years... I know how you feel.

I am on Disability. I have agoraphobia with panic disorder. My anxiety is a constant battle. I have COPD, Fibromyalgia, and so many other things going on, but those alone are so bad that it rules my life. What were you on Disability for and why did you go off. It is so hard to get, I don't understand. I hope you come back. I hope you feel better, maybe this will help you. I think I'm beyond help! But, knowing you're not alone in this, maybe that will help you.

My mom has anxiety disorder among other psychiatric disabilities and she also now discusses this with her therapist. I do agree about avoiding anything that could bring on unpleasent emotional changes but I did watch a couple of horror movies and thought why they upset me and why I had these concerns and what they might mean. Some feelings are hard to overcome. Its how you deal with them. I also have some standard residual paranoia.

Are you talking about short term disability through an employer or long term disability through the government? What is your situation? Why are you considering disability?

when in fact, there is no learning disability at all, only severe anxiety. The study believed that treating the anxiety would improve the learning ability. However, I now believe that "anxiety" is in itself a "learning disability"; albeit one not recognized by the educational system. Perhaps a new focus for our group, but I digress .... I suspect the above paragraph describes what is happening with your daughter.

I know for myself it can be difficult for me because what I have causes seizure like episodes that have aspects of dysmentia and psychosis. But although they are working on defining the exact terminology my neurologist and psychiatrist both agree its neurological and my psychiatric disability is "in relative remission". I would not think this is uncommon as some people with m.s. and cerebral palsy sometimes have their disability mistaken as psychiatric.

I also have Generalized Anxiety Disorder. I take Ativan as needed and Xanax as needed, my body is adjusting to them and they are not working as well. I was wondering, is there a med to take all the time for anxiety? I mean like I take a med for depression, a med for mania, is there one for anxiety? Thank you for your help.

Does anybody know if I can take stress leave from work and be paid with disability? If so does it affect my disability pay for maternity leave?
