Has anyone applied for disability for their depression? ONly reason I'm asking is because my friend asked me about it. Not sure if I can apply for depression or if I need to apply for my diabetes.

Ok I'm in Mass.

I just called the social security office and told them the situation and got the ball rolling.

Long process so be prepared for that

Yes I applied many years ago and got it. It’s harder these days though. I’m in Australia.
