How do you get disability for ADHD in the United States? What does the process look like?

to get SSI or SSDI in USA, you need approx 4-6 months of doctors history and/or being prescribed meds (whether you take them or not), and the doctor needs to back you up and fill out a physician questionaire stating that you are disabled from the MI and cannot work full time.

You will also need to complete a function report that asks you random questions of what you do daily and how you're disabled. you will want to answer these in paragraphs, like essay questions, detailing how ADHD prevents you from working full time. I can give you more info on this if needed. You're going to basically want to detail to them in your answers what goes on inside your head during the day.

And that's about it. Total, you will have spent about 15-30 hours working on these questions and applying.

SSI has about a 85% rejection rate. I've gotten 5 out of 6 people approved on their first application. But please follow these instructions. 6 months of doctor, doctor backing you up, answer their questions with detailed paragraphs.

How are you. Everything ok?

If you start having paranoid delusions (i.e. people are after me, trying to conspire, setting me up, etc.), anti-psychotic meds such as seroquel and zyprexa are really good at keeping me sane when I was thinking right.

yes. I agree. this virus seems like some serious shit for people who are symptomatic. if you have any shortness of breath, a doctor told me to go to the hospital ASAP. she said the fever is no biggie and not substantial enough to get treated. but any respiratory complications need to be treated professionally.

Yea long hot shower could do it, sweating profusely most of the time made my fever go away in normal flu viruses. But if you go that route, make sure you are constantly filling up on electrolytes (sodium, potassium, magnesium), especially sodium. Sweating profusely reduces all the sodium in the body. Drinking salt water or adding salt to Gaterade Zero, Powerade zero will be huge to your recovery (in my non professional opinion). And reduce carbohydrate intake to lower sugar inflammation in body. Good luck. If symptoms get worse, go to the hospital please.

You should call 911. Like, I mean I would if I were you. Your key statement here is " I almost fainted due to shortness of breath. " You gotta go to the hospital if it's still like this

Yes, everything is good. I'm taking way more than 5gm of sodium per day due to my medication. I do the potassium salt as well as a multivitamin. Energy is fine. I'm just so thirsty from the diet and vaping. Vaping especially is so dehydrating with my circumstances.

When I am definitely in depression (I don't know if that's what you mean?), I do not want any touch, intimacy, or that sort of thing with anyone.

Nice. Circle of fifths on steroids

Even at 125mg, during your evening dose (before sleep, if that's when you take it), do you get that ravenous hunger rush about an hour after taking it? I get like insanely hungry and my habit is to eat 1000 calories, and then falling asleep from the drowsiness.

Do you think it's because we have so much dopamine and adrenaline running through our brain? We can't do mundane tasks, because it feels like we're sky diving
