Hi i am very interested in getting disability checks for depression (ssi) & i'm wondering if anyone has any experience with this.
Theres alot of info i've looked into tonight on the internet but most of it isn't that helpful or i may have not looked hard enough.
i was wondering if anyone with experience with this can tell
1. how to get started, do i need to be diagnosed by my doctor or the social security people ?
2. how long does it take to be approved/denied
3. how much will i get per month on average ?
any advice would be appreciated
also feel free to flame me and talk shit bumps are cool. also i hate myself more than you ever will.
thank you for your time

You're not ganna get shit for depression cause you got to prove you're unable to work simple tasks like being a Walmart greeter. Depression isn't a disability..
Collecting disability for a mental illness is very difficult I have been told.

it is actually a medical disability, you're wrong but thanks for the bump.
Your psychiatrist is going to put your on Antidepressants in combination with a therapist with CBT and get you to work simple tasks before they reward you SSI. Maybe after all that fails after a while, then maybe you can say you're unable to work.
