Can I get disability for depression and anxiety? I also have asthma, eczema, severe allergies, eczema on my hands, carpel tunnel and RLS.

I do not know you will have to go to whatever disability programs you have in your area, and apply and get your medical documentation and see if you get approved or not.

LizLearning does not find this helpful : Do you think I would qualify ?

It does not matter what I think. What matters is whatever government disability support program you seek out. What they think.

Jesushelper is correct. It does not matter what we think; it matters what the government thinks as to your being able to qualify for disability. Your range of disabilities and conditions certainly sound like they are formidable enough to merit disability payments.

Do you have a paper trail, i.e. years of documentation of doctor and psychiatrist/psychologist visits plus a record of med taking? If you do, you will need to gather all this together and submit them with the proper government application form. You should be prepared to do this in person at the appropriate government office. You might be able to apply online and then send in your supporting documents. (Several years ago, I helped our library homeless guy apply online and then he mailed in supporting documents, so I know that can be done in the U.S.)

No I personally don't think you qualify, but then I am not a medical doctor who will have to sign off on disability paper work. The asthma, allergies and the such will not, since heck even I have most of those, reason for that inhaler we carry with us, or even those who carry O2 with them.

There are people who work from wheel chairs and more.
As for the others, what treatment do you take for it ?

Disability Income is given for the inability to work, not for specific conditions (and the ones you listed can range from mild to severe). One key fact is how long it's been since you've worked, tried to work, looked for work. The other is your doctor saying so. And you can still be denied, and have to wait I think it's 6 months before you can apply again.
