I don't think most with depression need it because you can still work but I suppose some may have a severe case...
It's sad though, I have a medical condition that basically makes me disabled and it's like pulling teeth to even be considered. My uncle was dying and still couldn't get it... Our system is as fucked as a soup sandwich.

Well I'm English but I was 17 with depression and getting support (which I wanted to decline but was forced to have) from the government etc.

I was also on antidepressants, so it's normal. This sort of thing can strike anyone at any time.

Whoa, that's drastic. Maybe your really really depressed, but I've been dealing with manic depression for a long time, and I have to say, its mind over matter sometimes. I also had bad anxiety when I was younger and couldn't bring myself to go into a place to apply for a job. Eventually, I had to man up. Well, woman up. You can't let that shit control your life to that extent. Its hard work, but its possible to better yourself without meds. The whole medical industry is a scam anyway. (For the most part) the side effects are usually worse that the condition anyway. Well, good luck to ya :)

People of any age can have disabilities. So being on SSI is normal if you have a disability. Unless you are lying about your disability. In which case you have committed frod.
