Representing Disabled Workers in South Carolina
Applying for Social Security disability can be daunting, especially if you have a mental disability. The Social Security Administration can't see inside a person's head, so they may not understand that a mental disorder is a legitimate disability.
At the law firm of Don Pilzer, PC, in Greenville, South Carolina, we help people with all types of disabilities obtain the benefits they deserve from Social Security. If you think you have a mental disability that prevents you from working, contact us for a free initial consultation about your disability claim.
What Are Mental Disabilities
There are many types of mental disabilities that may by themselves or in combination with other impairments qualify you as disabled. Some examples are:
- Depression
- Difficulty interacting with other people
- Difficulty focusing
- Anxiety
- Difficulty maintaining attendance
- Bipolar disorder
- Panic disorder
- Schizophrenia
- Congenital mental impairments such as autism
- Post-traumatic stress disorder
The Social Security Administration is less concerned about the label of your diagnosis than how it keeps you from working. Therefore, our lawyers will help you communicate to your doctors so your work limitations can be clearly written in your medical file.
Depression and disability: Many people who find themselves unable to do the work they have done all of their lives suffer from depression. If you suffer from depression in addition to your physical impairment, you can use both conditions as a basis for your disability claim.
