Just because a disability is not visible on the outside does not mean that a person does not suffer just as much, if not more, than a person with a physical disability. Misunderstandings and mental health conditions often go hand-in-hand. However, just because the general public may not fully grasp the pain and suffering an individual endures because of a mental condition does not mean they are not considered disabled. In fact, the Social Security Administration lists a wide variety of mental health conditions that could qualify a person for disability benefits.
Whether it is a symptom of their mental illness or the complexity of the process, it is often challenging for applicants to initiate the application or appeals process.
