what mental illnesses can you claim...I have MDD , but I know that it's fueled by anxiety/nerves...insomnia. How can I find out which things I can specifically put down....especially for mood disorders. Can I claim Asthma? If so how does that work?

Yes, know what you mean, they have me down for PTSD, panic attacks with agoraphobia, major depression, a personality disorder with paranoid and narcissistic traits.
Wanted to know if ...MDD...is different than anxiety...does it have to be diagnosed as an "anxiety disorder" or can they connect the dots...Also, I'm not sure what is claimable and what are supporting details I have MDD....I've had insomnia for several progressive years. And... the panick attacks...are they all really grouped together...does this negatively affect my my rating.

wow, celexa makes me more energetic, strange isn't it how a drug effects different folks differently, i was on prozac for a lot of years and it just seemed to quit working. you just have to make your doc try different things till you find the right one for your body chemistry.
Hi...I've been on celexa, wllbutrin and lexapro. I've found combinig meds works ay different levels, because your body and mind don't just have one proble...I wouldn't expect one pill to heklp ease all of your symptoms. I too tried them alone but everyone has complex issues. I now take celexa and wellbutrin...they kind of counter act each others side affects. I felt too lethargic solely on celexa...too hyper on wellbutrin...like i had 10 cups of coffee at once. Together they seem to do pretty well for the clearity of my mind and energy.l Also, I think some meds just do they best they can so perhaps they help you some of the way...another the rest. Don't give up the fight!
