Can you file for Social Security disability for a mental disorder or problem?Certainly you may file for Social Security disability for a mental problem or disorder, if it prevents you from performing substantial gainful work activity. Social Security does not differentiate between medical problems and mental problems; simply the condition has to limit your functional capacity. The definition for Social Security disability simply states that an individual must not have been able to perform substantial gainful work activity or expects to be unable to perform substantial gainful work activity for twelve months because of medical and/or mental impairments.
