Can an individual qualify for Social Security disability or SSI on the basis of anxiety or panic attacks ?It does seem that persons with mental impairments such as anxiety and panic attacks have a harder time being allowed for Social Security disability. For individuals with anxiety and panic attacks it is important to have an established mental health history. You may ask what I mean by mental health history? A mental health history might include hospitalizations, mental health counseling, and medications, which documents the severity of your conditions. Too often Social Security evaluates all mental conditions as if the conditions were temporary, and disregards the fact that most mental conditions have exacerbations periodically. These exacerbations often preclude the ability to sustain any type of meaningful employment. Although disability claims based upon mental impairments may be harder to achieve an allowance at the initial and reconsiderations levels, these claims have a fair chance of allowance at the administrative law judge hearing. Therefore it would be sound advice to appeal your claim if you are denied at the initial and reconsideration levels of the Social Security disability process.
