According to a report from HealthDay, the fear of needing anti-depressants causes nearly 25% of people to hide symptoms of depression. When depression becomes disabling and you're unable to work for a period of time, then you could be eligible to receive long-term disability benefits.
Not everyone wants to be medicated and it's this very thing that prevents many individuals from seeking help if they're suffering symptoms of depression. According to a new study, the primary reason for hiding these symptoms is uncertainty about the potential side effects of taking medication.
After conducting a phone study, researchers discovered that 43% of the participants provided at least one reason for not telling their doctors they were depressed. Besides the side effects of medication, another reason for failing to disclose this information was that they didn't want to be referred for counseling.
According to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), at any given time, about 10% of people in the United States suffer from depression and 50% will experience some form of mental health condition.
Depression is a serious health condition and could leave you unable to focus at work. If you'd like help in pursuing a claim for long-term disability benefits, then you should seek legal help. A Miami-Dade County long-term disability attorney can help.
Long-term disability benefits may be available to those who have purchased a disability plan from a private insurer or have coverage through an employer. Unfortunately, the insurers don't make it easy for the disabled to get access to the benefits they deserve.
