Has anyone been approved for SSDI based on Major Depressive Disorder, Anxiety, OCD? How long did the process last?

It is not so much the diagnosis's but your symptoms and what the doctors say in there reports.

Most applications take about 6 mos minimum to process, mine took 8mos.

Most people get denied the first time out and have to reapply, so don't feel that it is over if you get denied the first time. Just apply again.

I wish you luck in your journey

I received SSDI based mainly on MDD and PTSD, altho some physical issues did not help.

The totality of your condition is what counts. Get yr MDs to state you cannot work etc. Have you been hospitalized, ects, therapy?

Get an attorney-they gwet 25% but they do all the paperwork, and you get retroactive pay.

Best of luck
