SSD Benefits For Anxiety Disorders Such as Depression & Bipolar Disorder in New Jersey

Social Security disability benefits are not only based upon a diagnosis and the symptoms that an individual has, but also on how the condition impacts that person on a daily basis. If you have been diagnosed with any of the following disabilities, we can answer any questions you may have about the process and make sure you get the benefits you are looking for:

• Depression: Categorized by the Social Security Administration as an affective disorder characterized by mood disturbance, depression is a pervasive and serious medical condition that can include low energy, thoughts of death and sleep disturbance. From postpartum depression to seasonal affective disorder, we help clients dealing with all types of depression who are unable to work due to their disabilities.
• Bipolar disorder: Often thought to be a condition characterized by drastic mood changes between high energy and low energy periods, bipolar disorder can also have manic or depressive symptoms. Bipolar disorder can affect job or school performance, and frequently begins in young adulthood, lasting for years. We help individuals appeal for disability who had bipolar disorder and are unable to work.
• Anxiety and panic disorders: Anxiety and panic disorders occur when a feeling of anxiousness pervades a person’s life to the point where it causes physical manifestations. A panic attack can send people to the hospital with symptoms such as chest pain, dizziness and breathing difficulties. The Social Security Administration recognizes anxiety disorders, including panic attacks, post-traumatic stress disorder and agoraphobia, as disabilities.
