text: what can youget ssi disability for???   mostly anything, i know people that are in disability because of depression, others because of artritis and other joint problems like osteoporosis.  others because of cancer survival, and others because of adhd or add.    don't think is easy.  for example i have bipolar disorder, axiety, and depression but i don't qualify as a disable individual because i do have control of myself.    my daughter has adhd, and severe anxiety disorder, and speech delay but doesn't qualify as disable because she is high functional (i have never tried, but i know that she won't qualify 'cause she makes progress)    my son he is autistic and because there is no hope of him getting better, my aunt got him on ssi (she is the guarantor/guardian).    my boyfriend is on disability because of depression because there is no hope of getting better and it interfere with his day to day life (trust me).  as of me i work a full time job, manage a house full of nut cases and study...someone that can do all this can't qualify for ssi! lol.
