Disability benefits?

Posted by Maria01 on September 18, 2008, at 19:47:38

My T and I have pretty much agreed that I should go on disability at least until I can get my depression under control.
Has anyone here gone that route, and was it a headache to file for and to receive benefits?
I have been referred to a p-doc at the County Mental Health agency, so I'm not real optimisitic..they seem to be pretty indifferent unless you are suicidal or homicidal.

I do know that in my present state of mind I'm at risk for losing my job, failing in school, and I definitely don't have the stomach/patience for dealing with a long, drawn-out process via the County. Since I'm very limited on funds and have no insurance, I'm stuck with going thru them for eval/meds/possible disability.

Has anyone else had to go thru that process? I live in CA if that helps...

Thanks
