There is no "list" of disabling conditions that qualify a person for Social Security benefits. And disabling conditions can vary from person to person, although it is true that mental disability is as legitimate as physical disability.

The key to eligibility is determining whether an applicant has "qualifying earnings," paycheck withholding that has been paid into the Social Security fund.
