Social Security Disability for Anxiety Disorders
Can You Get SSDI for Anxiety?
The National Institute of Mental Health has stated that 40 million American adults suffer the debilitating effects of anxiety disorders every year.

These feelings of irrational fear, dread, and disabling worry over situations can last 6 months or longer and can make it impossible to carry out normal daily functions.

Types of Anxiety Disorders
Anxiety disorders are grouped into 5 categories, including:
- Panic disorder: Extreme feelings of fear that invoke physical reactions, such as heart racing, chest pains, lightheadedness, breathing difficulties, or abdominal pains.
- Obsessive-compulsive disorder: Anxiety that leads to the need to perform ritualistic, repetitive behaviors in order to rid the mind of unwelcome thoughts. Behaviors such as excessive washing of hands, cleaning, or repeatedly checking something does not ultimately erase the obsessive thoughts.
- Generalized anxiety disorder: Unwarranted, unprovoked thoughts of fear, stress, or nervousness that occur for no apparent reason.
- Post-traumatic stress disorder: Feelings of extreme levels of fear that can occur after a person witnesses or lives through a traumatic event such as an accident, assault, or natural disaster.
- Social anxiety disorder: Severe feelings of self-consciousness, humiliation, and fear a person experiences prior to engaging in any type of social situation.

The symptoms of anxiety disorders vary depending on the specific type of disorder. Besides internal feelings of fear and nervousness, a person may exhibit outward symptoms such as:
- Sweating
- Nausea
- Blushing
- Headaches
- Fatigue
- Lightheadedness
- Breathing difficulties
- Irritability
- Aches and pains
