In determining eligibility for Social Security disability benefits, the Social Security Administration looks not only at physical and educational factors, but also at mental or psychological problems. One of the many psychological infirmities we have seen in our Social Security disability claimants is Obsessive Compulsive Disorder.
The is an excellent Web site for those who suffer from this illness, or who have a loved one who suffers from it. The site is the Obsessive Compulsive Foundation, and they offer resources such as therapists, support groups, and affiliate organizations. Here is a quote from the site:
Our mission is to give support for individuals who suffer with Obsessive Compulsive Disorder; to provide education, information and answers about this biologically-based illness; to foster research to discover causes and effective treatment; and to advocate for the needs of those affected by OCD.
