Can you get on disability for depression and social anxiety?

Is it possible to get on discability for depression and social anxiety in connecticut? I am 22 years old and have not been able to hold a job for more than 6 months. Any info is extremely helpful, thank you.

Yes, people have been place on short term disability for these diagnosis. But only after a sufficient amount of documented attempts to work with medical personnel on the relief of symptoms. Simply not being able to hold down a job will not qualify you. Nor should it. Disability is a tax based benefit. paid for by hard working people, some severely depressed, and countless other other mental health disorders.
