BIPOLAR DISORDER AND SOCIAL SECURITY ATTORNEYS

Philadelphia Social Security Disability Lawyers - We Know Disability

Do you suffer from a Biploar Disorder.   At The Bernstein Law Offices, we have been successful in obtaining social security disability benefits for our clients suffering from this illness.  Typically, individuals diagnosed with Bipolar Disorder experience depression along with manic phases.   During the manic phase, the individual can experience symptoms such as hyperactivity, getting very small amount of sleep, thoughts that are racing, difficulty with temper management.  

An example of someone experiencing a manic phase would be the feeling like one needs to clean their entire house at 11:00 in the evening and does not finish until 5:00 in the morning.  Usually these manic episodes are followed by depression which presents itself with low self esteem, decreased energy, feelings of guilt or worthlessness, loss of interest, lack of desire to socialize with friends, and a general feeling of sadness.

Bipolar disorder can present itself in many various forms.  The key to a successful social security disability claim when one has Bipolar Disorder is a well documented medical record from a treating source.  Your therapist and your physician can play an important role in the outcome of your claim.  A report from your medical providers outlining your condition, symptoms, and how they affect your ability to work will be of great use to the administrative law judge presiding over your case.
