Depression Disability Benefits:
Helping the down – and out of work.

It’s normal for people to feel down every now and again, but chronic feelings of misery and hopelessness are not normal. Major depression is not something you can just snap out of or stop. It can be debilitating and require long-term treatment and observation.

If your depression has lasted more than a year and is keeping you from working on a regular basis, you may be entitled to Major Depressive Disorder Disability benefits from the Social Security Administration (SSA). To learn your options, please contact McDonald Law Firm and speak with a compassionate member of our team.

  • Daily activities: You will need to articulate how your depression has limited your daily activities, ability to concentrate, and work performance.
  • Treatment: The SSA will give more weight to your claim if you have been prescribed medication or therapy and are undergoing treatment.
