yes, you can get suplimentry secondary income called ssi thro social security
You can qualify for Social Security Disability when you have Bipolar disorder (I did), as long as you have a doctor that feels you cannot work & will support that should you need to go before a judicator to gain the soc sec disability. It is a very difficult very long battle, but worth it in the end. I highly recommend you find an attorney that specializes in Soc Sec Disability (many work for free only taking a portion of your back-pay). You need to apply on your own & you will probably be denied however ask for an appeal, no matter what that takes. It took me five years of fighting & 2 "trials" but in the end I did get my benefits & they owed me the 5 years of back-pay!

∙ 15y agoIn order to qualify for a mental disorder check from welfare, you have to be so mentally ill that you cannot live on your own. If your doctor certifies that, even with medication, you cannot hold down a job or support yourself, you might be able to qualify. Welfare is pretty strict about it, so sometimes you have to keep trying for several years before you get on the list. It is best to try taking your medication regularly and going to a therapist to help you handle your disorder.

Your daughter has ADHD and bipolar she is on 40mg of Vyvanse and 12mg serequel all the sudden she is behaving strange what are some other options besides serequel?
Let me begin by saying that I hope your daughter is being followed by a psychiatrist or psychiatric nurse practitioner that specializes in working with children. I am not a doctor, however I have worked with individuals, of all ages, with a diagnosis of Bipolar Disorder. A diagnosis of bipolar disorder and ADHD is not uncommon, but it can be difficult to treat, because many medications used to treat ADHD can trigger Bipolar Mania. I would not be surprised if the vyvanse triggers symptoms of mania at various times of the year. I would continue taking seroquel, discontinue the vyvanse, and start Straterra. Honestly, (again, I am not a physician) the only ADHD med that I trust, with an individual who has Bipolar, is Straterra. Straterra is not typically prescribed to children, however it is the only medication that treats ADHD which is not a stimulant. Check out my previous post about Bipolar Treatments: What are effective treatments for bipolar disorder Be well.
