Living with bipolar disorder is a continuing cycle of ups and downs, highs and lows that makes it very difficult to hold down a traditional job. Social security disability benefits may be an option that allows those suffering from bipolar disease to focus their time and energy on staying healthy and stable, as well as removing the stress and demands that come along with employment.
If you are bipolar and considering applying for social security disability benefits, an SSI lawyer can help you review the facts of your claim and prepare for a social security disability benefits case.
Documenting your symptoms and collecting medical evidence will be the most important step you take as you and your SSI lawyer prepare to make a social security benefits claim. It's always better to document too much information than too little, so be sure to make notes of when you're feeling manic, depressed or tearful, along with other feelings. How long the mood lasts and how often you feel that way are important things to note. Separating yourself from friends, family and regular activities can be a symptom of bipolar disorder and should also be documented. Alternately, acting much more social than you typically would can also be a symptom, so be sure to document that as well. Don't stop seeing your doctors or counselors, because the records of your visits are important evidence of your disorder.
