Not your fault. I had a lawyer apply for disability.

Yeah you can get disability for mental health issues. But, from my understanding, it is far from easy

I’m on disability due to my combination of disorders, both mental and physical. I highly recommend getting an attorney who specializes in disability. They will take their fee out of your back pay so nothing comes directly out of your pocket.

I'm on disability for mental health. Got it around age 25. I wouldn't be able to live without it. I got blessed. There are people in organizations to help hook you up with an attorney. I only know about organizations in my state, however.
