As with physical injuries, not everyone with depression qualifies for disability benefits. Yet, severe depression can significantly interfere with a person’s daily activities and ability to work. In fact, depression is among the leading causes of disability worldwide. If your claim for depression disability benefits has been denied, there is hope.

People with depression may realize they are in trouble, but many times they do not seek treatment. Without a detailed medical history of your depression, it is difficult to prove you are disabled and incapable of working. Still, the law is there to protect you if you suffer from depression. With proper action, denied disability claims for valid depressive disorders can be overturned and won for Social Security, Veterans Benefits, and long term disability (LTD) insurance claims.
