If you are not currently on medication for your symptoms, then I would say your chances of being considered disabled by the Social Security Administration are rather slim. Your age is a critical issue, also. The younger you are, the harder it is to get approved.

One way to get started is to start calling law firms, asking if they will represent you. I recommend calling firms that specialize in disability, and I recommend calling several. That's what I did, and I heard back from all the firms I called. You learn a lot from the questions that they ask you. They know what the SSA is going to be interested in.

Another approach is to call or visit social security and request an application. Or you may be able to do this on-line. Keepong track of the paperwork without the help of a law firm can be very challenging.
