Can you qualify for disability when you are bipolar?
4 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Yes: Bipolar disorder is among the most common reasons for people to be unable to sustain employment. Bpd symptoms often interfere with the ability to carry out routine daily activities, be on time, or relate well to others. Check with your doctor and an attorney who specializes in disability services.

Depends: Bipolar disorder is a condition for which people may receive disability, but this depends on a determination of how severe the condition is and how much it interferes with one's daily functioning.
