Are there maybe any other welfare types of programs that could help while applying for disability...doesn't make sense they would require you to work to get a little money to live on till you get Disability when you wouldn't be applying for disability if you could work.

That program just sounds ridiculous...I don't think psychiatrists typically meet with patients once a week, it would certainly be more common for the therapist to do that...I only see mine every 3 months if that to discuss meds/issues with them/if changes should be made, nothing else really. So yeah sounds like an annoying thing to deal with.
