Harvey Peter Sackett on 02 Nov 24A disability that prevents you from working and earning a living may not be physical. Mental health disorders, such as depression, anxiety, and autism spectrum disorder, can be as debilitating as physical impairments. According to the data from the U.S. Department of Labor, 30% of adults report experiencing symptoms of depression and anxiety. If you or a family member cannot work because of a diagnosed mental disorder, you may qualify for mental health disability benefits through the Social Security Disability Insurance or Supplemental Security Income programs. The programs available through the Social Security Administration provide monthly cash payments and access to medical insurance through Medicare or Medicaid, depending on whether you qualify for SSDI or SSI. "Am I eligible for disability benefits?" and "How much does mental health disability pay?" are common questions asked by people seeking assistance with Social Security disability for mental illness.
