Bipolar disorder

A bipolar disorder may qualify you for SSDI or SSI benefits

Bipolar disorder can have a significant impact on your ability to work in any job. This mental disorder can involve mood swings, depression and manic periods. The condition used to be known as manic-depression. In some cases, people experience mixed mood states, which can include periods of clinical depression or mania.

The Social Security Administration recognizes bipolar disorder as a disabling condition. The Administration includes this condition in its impairment listing manual. If you have been diagnosed as bipolar, you may be eligible for Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) benefits or Supplemental Security Income (SSI) benefits.

To be successful with your SSDI or SSI claim, you should provide documentation from your treating doctor. As with other disabilities, you need to support your claim with medical records. You will need to prove you can no longer perform your past work or any other type of work. It's important to continue treatment with a psychiatrist or other mental health professional.
