i have recurrent chronic depression, anxiety, panic attacks, and agoraphobia, am i eligible for social securit

Question:

Answers:
No, you are just a hypochondriac. This is all in your head and you are as depressed, anxious, and paniced as you choose to be.

You just have to unlearn the reasons you are choosing as you do and learn to choose to be happy.

Other Answers:
It depends if you have plenty of documentation and letters from doctors stating it is their medical opinon that you are so disabled by these disorders that you cannot support yourself. You can apply but most people usually don't get it on the first try. You might want to invest in a disability lawyer that handles this type of case.

Yes you are. I would contact the local Social Security office and tell them your diagnosis and find out how to collect. The depression makes you eligible. You're also eligible if you're an alcoholic believe it or not.

YOULL HAVE TO VISIT YOUR LOCAL MENTAL HEALTH CLINIC AND START SEEING A PSYCHIATRIST AND THEY WILL DECIDE AFTER A FEW SESSIONS IF YOUR ELIGABLE TO APPLY. GOOD LUCK

yes you are eligible just get an disabilty lawyer so you can win your case

Why not get a job to distract you from your mind?

I certainly hope that's not an eligible category for *PERMANENT* payouts when it's all something that can be treated with psychotherapy, medication, etc.

depends on the severity of the disability. if your Dr thinks its too much for you to work then go for it. but i would read up on it first. Getting social security disability isn't an easy nor quick process. you have to be unable to work for a total of 12 consecutive months can u do that? its kind of hard for alot of people. people need to work and make money to live. plus I hear that u get turned down the first time u apply. but that isn't always the case like i said the severity is a big issue. I got it on my first try. and alot of people were like wow how did u do that. basically I'm very fudged up at times and cant hold a job. I am married and a mother to a 13 month old so i can afford not to work but can you? think about it first. secondly when and if u get ssdi your check will be a fraction on what your use to making. they take the number of years u worked and the wages you made into consideration. i worked 16 years from the age of 15 but mostly minimum wage and a bit more nothing over 10 an hour so my monthly check barely makes the rent if im by myself so take all these things into consideration. and try to find alternatives like meds and therapy. i do both but my meds change every 6 to 9 months. hope this helps.

Instead of giving up and trying to get social security, why not get better and enjoy life? I found a way out. I, too, had most of your symptoms (all but agoraphobia). I tried to end it twice. Two pshrinks told me I wouldn't get better. I proved them wrong. Please read my story telling how I got out of the rut:

Wickedness, injustice, grief, pessimism, trouble, loneliness, fear, stress, frustration, distrust, unscrupulousness, anxiety, rage, jealousy, resentment, drug addiction, immorality, gambling, prostitution, hunger, poverty, social corruption, theft, war, struggle, violence, oppression, fear of death… News about these issues appear in the newspapers and on TV every day. The popular press devotes entire pages to these subjects, while others serialise articles about their psychological and social aspects. However, our acquaintance with these feelings is not limited solely to the press; in daily life, we, too, frequently come across such problems and, more importantly, personally experience them.
People and societies endeavour to liberate themselves from the distressing experiences, disorder and repressive social structures that have prevailed over the world for long periods. We only need to glance at ancient Greece; the Great Roman Empire; Tsarist Russia, or the so-called Age of Enlightenment, and even the 20th century-a century of misery which saw two world wars and world-wide social disasters. No matter upon which century or location you concentrate your research, the picture will not be appreciably different.
If this is the case, why haven't people succeeded in solving these problems, or at least some efforts been made to remove such social diseases from society?
People have encountered these problems in all ages, yet each time they have failed to find any solutions because the methods they employed were inappropriate. They sought various solutions, tried different political systems, laid down impracticable and totalitarian rules, stirred up revolutions or subscribed to perverted ideologies, while many others preferred to adopt an indifferent attitude and merely accepted the status quo.
In our day, people are almost numbed by this way of living. They readily believe these problems to be "facts of life." They picture a society immune to these problems as being nothing short of impossible-a dream utopia. They persistently and openly express their distaste for such a way of living, yet easily embrace it, since they think they have no other alternative.
The resolution of all these problematic issues is possible only by living by the principles of the "true religion." Only when the values of true religion prevail can a pleasant and tranquil scene replace this gloomy and unfavourable picture, which is doomed to continue so long as God's limits are ignored. To put it another way, people are enslaved by these complications as long as they avoid the values of the Qur'an. Put simply, this is the "nightmare of disbeliefe" and the link below for this wonderful book:

http://harunyahya.net/popup/Download.php?WorkNumber=256&Format=pdf

you will find how the regulation of life by the "norms of morality" introduced by the Qur'an revealed to mankind by God will banish the "nightmare of disbelief," how pessimism, corruption and social restlessness can be eliminated from society, how the individual can surround himself with an ideal environment, what spiritual and material benefits he is likely to attain by adherence to these norms of morality are gone into in detail, and finally, that the unique alternative to all these problems is the morality of the Qur'an.
So far, many books have attempted to deal with the social and psychological problems societies face. Yet, what distinguishes this book from others is its stress on the most realistic solution. It also sincerely warns people against the troublesome future they are likely to face if they fail to resort to this solution.
We expect that every reader of conscience will grasp that peace, mutual trust and an ideal social life is attainable only by embracing the values of the Qur'an and will turn to the true religion, which is Islam.
They will then happily join the ranks of those who never suffer, mentally or physically, from any of the above-mentioned complications. Around them, there will always be an abundance of favours, comfort, love, respect, peace and confidence, and moral virtues will prevail. They will know how to earn God's approval, by observing His limits and the commandments of the Qur'an. They will thus, by having faith in God, attain His mercy and at last enter Paradise.
