I am diagnosed Bipolar recently.
I am already on SSDI for Severe Anxiety and Substance Abuse Disorders.

I did not have the Biploar diagnosis at the time of my application.

I will eventually be reviewed by SSDI for the conditions of Anxiety and Substance abuse to see if I improved...and I know that they only care about the conditions I was approved for during review (to see if I am staying in treatment and to see if there was improvement).

But, I wonder too how much my Bipolar was mistaken for Anxiety? And I see people saying all the time that there Drs say they can't work because of Bipolar...What about your Bipolar makes you specifically unable to work? Especially if medication is available to ease the symptoms?
