I have ssdi for PTSD. It took me a couple of months, I think. But I had private disability insurance that had already approved me so SSDI was easier to get because a third party had already ruled me disabled.
From what I hear from many people is that is takes up to 6 months for a decision but typically people are turned down on the first try and then have to get an attorney to appeal the decision for them. It can take a couple of years to work its way through the appeal system.
