It depends where you live but where I'm from (OK.)it's a lengthy and difficult process. I got denied three times( I have anxiety,depression,sleep apnea,hypersomnia, stomach problem- constant acid reflux, heartburn etc.). It's tough but if you don't give up like I did (too exhausted to keep up with all info. needed) you might get it, it never hurts to try. Call you local Social Security office and ask to speak with someone to file for disability. I heard it takes an average of over 8mos-1yr. to be approved for disability (you file,you wait, denied,file again,wait, denied,file again,wait,denied(alto of waiting), if you get denied 3 times you get attorney to help. This is where I stopped, i was doing all this on my own, filing and got very difficult for me. I might try again but not sure if I'm ready for another year round. Good Luck
