i am getting temporary disability from the state of nj. i didn't have any problem, with the doctor filling out the form, mental illness is recognized as a "legit" cause. i suppose it will depend on what your doctor will say.

but also it did take several weeks for me to start getting checks. i got a letter of approval relatively quickly which at least put my mind at ease. in my case though i had some savings to pay immediate bills so as long as i knew checks were coming eventually i was at ease.

of course i ended up not paying my bills anyway, still in that state of affairs now and still trying to cope as best i can. sort of a catch 22, this disability keeps me from working but also keeps me from taking care of my affairs.
