Can anxiety be considered a disability?
Many people experience anxiety, but when it becomes chronic and significantly limits daily life, it can be recognized as a disability under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) and in legal benefit frameworks like Social Security. Anxiety disorders may qualify for accommodations or disability protections if they substantially limit major life activities such as working, concentrating, interacting with others, or completing daily tasks.
Understanding how anxiety affects functioning can help you make informed decisions about support, treatment, and your rights.
