CASES OF MENTAL DEPRESSION FOR SOCIAL SECURITY





Depression may be the most frequently cited mental impairment on social security disability and ssi disability applications.

In cases where depression is alleged by a claimant, medical record documentation from mental health treatment sources will be of particular importance. Treatment sources falling into this category, of course, include a claimant's psychiatrist, psychologist, and any mental health treatment center a claimant may have been seen at such as a city or county department of mental health.

Unfortunately, many social security disability claimants who include depression on an ssd or ssi application have only had occasional or sporadic treatment for depression (or any other mental disorder). Since all disability claims are evaluated chiefly on the strength of a claimant's records, this can certainly reduce a claimant's chances of winning benefits.

It goes without saying that, for any impairment that a claimant alleges, mental or physical, regular treatment should be maintained so adequate medical record documentation will be available to either a disability examiner or administrative law judge.
