I'm not sure but depression and stress can lead to anxeity attacks and thats a disabilty. With depression there are many effective treatments available. With appropriate treatment, the majority of people with depression can improve significantly, often within a matter of weeks. Counseling or talk therapy, medications, or a combination of the two are the most common and effective treatments.
If you think that you or someone you care about may be depressed, get help. Have yourself evaluated for depression so that you can get treatment if you need it. People and places you can contact for help include your family doctor and your local hospital, mental health center, or public health clinic.

Clinical depression leads to other illnesses.
This can be diagnosed only by a psychiatrist.
It can lead to all kinds of ailments and even disease.
If you get a written statement from a psychiatrist that you suffer from clinical depression, you'll get it.
I'm sorry to hear about this. The doctor can help you.
I had that problem too for awhile but I got excellent treatment for it.
Please take care of yourself.
Depression is one of the worst conditions a human can suffer.
Good luck sweetie. Hang in there. You can get the ssi and proper treatment for your particular case.
Remember to eat and try to maintain a good healthy diet. It REALLY does help a little.

likely not on its own and to get ssi takes about ten years of fighting and enough doctors paperwork to weigh what you do, but keep trying.

Yes, if it is severe enough and has led to other secondary disabilities or traumas. Check with your local office and put it an application. If they need additional testing, they will send you.

It depends on whether your depression is severe enough to keep you from working and/or impeding your progress in daily life.

Yes, but it has to be attested to by the psychiatrist, your primary care doctor or other medical specialists can't.
