Yes, an adult with mental illness can be awarded benefits from the state, such as Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) or Supplemental Security Income (SSI) in the United States. Eligibility typically depends on the severity of the mental illness and its impact on the individual's ability to work and perform daily activities. Each case is assessed individually, considering medical documentation and other relevant information. Additionally, some states may offer mental health services or support programs that can assist individuals with mental illness.

No you can't. They can discriminate against any type of mental illness. You cannot also become a very good social worker because of you understanding of mental illness. Mental illness is still very stigmatized but there are many many people who suffer and many people who are highly functional in their jobs. You can read about the Disability Discrimination Act and go to SAMHSA.gov website for more information.
