That depends.Some Social Security right now is going through a reform process because the "Baby Boomers" are all coming up for retirement and there is not enough funds to take care of them so the criteria for SSI keeps changing. It takes usually anywhere between 6 months to a year process of applying and then going to specialists in the fields of what you place on your claim. and then SSI social workers go according to what those professionals say. So if you have a great therapy professional that will state officially that you have debilitating depression and anxiety to the point where you cannot and most likely will not be able to in the future work and the SSI specialists also match what your specialists say then yes you will recieve SSI. They will throw out the part about having a child with psychiatric issues because the claim is for you not your child so they can only go according to what problems you have that prevent you from working - your own physical health problems and your own mental health problems.

In either case it doesn't hurt to apply. and cost nothing so good luck and hang in there
