I have been diagnosed with General Anxiety Disorder and I also have Panic Attacks. I have been put on anti-depressents and go to the dr. regularly. I took a month off of work from both of my jobs. I have went back to the jobs this past Tuesday, and it is still VERY difficult to work and concentrate and even get out of bed.

Is this a valid reason to qualify for disability? If so, how?

    I do believe you can. My dad was put on “mental disability” due to depression. Contact your local disability office. Social Security I believe it is. Good luck and God bless you. I’m sorry you’re having a difficult time, I pray that you get better.

    first of all you can’t apply if you are working.It is possible to get disability with alot of documentation from your doctor and if you can prove it affects your activities of daily living.You may have to file appeals until you get it and you will probably need an attorney.Can you survive with no income for 2 years.Good Luck
