My husband has depression and was diagnosed with bi-polarism 14 years ago from a Doctor in NYC whose name he would not ever be able to recall, at this point.
Aside from a little P/T work at hotels in L.A. and NY in 1990 and 1994, he has never been able to work. That is the entirety of his work life. This illness stops him from being able to work.
He has attempted to start dozens of companies since I met him and not one has come to fruition. I work and support him and pay all the bills. I am not lodging a complaint – just want readers to understand the whole of the situation before they can advise me.
My husband has lived on one or more anti-depressants since 1999. His list: Celexa, Prozac, Zoloft, Effexor, Wellbutrin, Paxil and now back to Effexor.
He has never attempted to seek financial assistance but he wishes to now. He is so hopeful that it will work. We both are. My salary is not covering our needs and the company I work for is in financial difficulty. Thank you.

SSDI for bi-polar is likely if your husband can meet the tests to qualify for the benefit, which is paltry. He needs to be in treatment and the time of onset as documented in addition he would have had to work for so many years to be eligible. check out www.disabilitysecrets.com for more information or just type "ssdi bipolar" in a search engine. Good luck.
