Yes, it is possible to get disability compensation for diagnosed mental illness.
However, that is NOT the same as unemployment compensation. Because it literally deals with an insurance claim, some sort of proof regarding cause-and-effect would be required before payment(s) would be authorized. Countries other than the US may employ different policies. Please be more specific in the details of your question.

What is an inorganic mental disease?
Organic mental diseases are diseases which originate due to an "organic" factor like alcohol, a metabolic disorder or aging. The thing is that there is no such term as 'inorganic mental disease'. I think that the term is meant to differentiate between mental illness that is part of a disease process like Alzheimer's from more 'natural' conditions (why alcohol is considered natural seems to me to be debatable.).
