    Can I apply for ssi if I have depression and anxiety
    I had the depression and anxiety and I'm going to therapy and my therapist talks to me about trying to get a job but I feel I can't get a job cause my depression and anxiety won't let me do much and my anxiety is very often my therapist recommended I get medication as well.. I have a history of depression since I was 14 years old and I'm 32. Now are there any chances I may be elligible?

    If you have medical proof that you are unable to work, yes. My concern is that your Therapist feels you ARE able to work, so you would need very strong evidence that you cannot.

    Everyone has a different experience with SSI and a lot of people have horror stories - my late husband and I prepared his application ourselves, made certain the medical info was in order and included and he was awarded in LESS THAN A MONTH.

    It's all about proof.
