Anyone Get Sent For A Psych Eval For Your Federal Disability? If Yes What Was It Like And What Kind Of Questions Did They Ask?

A MyFibroTeam Member asked a question 💭

Besides fibromyalgia I also have depression and anxiety that I am working on with my therapist and psychiatrist.

So any insight on this would be very helpful!!

@A MyFibroTeam Member They want you to be bat shit crazy. Lol I am talking like seeing people in the room with you that they can’t see. Mine said I was perfectly fine because I answered certain questions Like a math question for example perfectly fine that there was no depression. Their guidelines really are flawed. Good luck !!!

I do believe it was @A MyFibroTeam Member who most recently went through this process. 💛

I feel for you applying in the US. I'm in Canada and it was pretty easy to get disability. I also qualify to apply in the US. I managed to schedule a phone appt but the phone number they had for me was no longer mine. The system won't let me change it to a Canadian number blah blah. I personally might exaggerate on some areas. I do cry a lot, and easily. Try not to stress about it which can affect you physically. I've heard almost everyone gets denied. Then one would have to appeal. I'm so sorry you have to go through this. Hang in there and let us know how it is going. 💜🤗
