Find answers on: https://www.socialsecurity.gov/applyfordisability/. Social Security requires documentation of functional disability or disabilities caused by your psychiatric disorders. They use records from your primary care provider, psychiatrist, psychologist & therapists & a psychological evaluation by a Ph.D. contracted with them. Also see http://www.ada.gov for your state's "Voc. Rehab" agency's number
