I get disability for Major Depression and Generalized Anxiety Disorder.

Without something like Lexapro I can turn into kind of a wreck. Even suicidal or suffering from panic attacks.

Does anyone ever feel like this isn’t a real disability? I mean, it’s not like I’m in a wheelchair. Sometimes I feel like I am cheating.

But there are others out there like myself. There has to be.

      Most can’t. It is very much covered by the rules, when the effects are severe. But those with these disabilities have the least ability to stand up for themselves, when bullied by DWPs privrate contractors.

      Most of the worst cases can only get it with huge help. Help that has been cut to non existant levels over the last 14 years.
