No, this is wrong,
Anxiety disorders can be extremely disabling,
& they qualify for welfare assistance in most western countries
I've met people who cannot leave a single room in their apartment because of solely extreme anxiety disorder

Now is there a problem with Genz & tiktokers self-diagnosing anxiety disorders, yes, some social contagion going on
But that doesn't invalidate the millions of Americans with well-documented, officially diagnosed anxiety disorders as having those disorders control their lives

pls @ZaldanExtremist & anyone else,
do not confuse people with actual anxiety disorders to the weirdos that plague the internet
There are truly horrible mental illnesses out there, not everyone claiming to be bipolar or have Tourette's syndrome is making it up

To use ur analogy,
Ud never believe cuz @SenWarren made up being native American to mean that there aren't native americans
Don't let weirdos abusing the system to mean the many suffering from horrible anxiety disorders are making it up

Additionally,
SSI weighs anxiety disorders heavier than many physical disabilities including partial blindness
( i know it doesn't make sense)
so if we are strictly talking benefits, then saying they aren't disabled at least according to the US gov, that isn't true

This is from memory,
the explanation I got told from a disability lawyer is that in the minds of social security
an anxiety disorder can be worse cuz a blind guy can fold towels but you cannot get an anxiety disorder sufferer to get out of the house

some of you won't believe me & others who have tried to get disability benefits will lol & groan,
cuz in case U didn't know
standards for obtaining disability benefits in the US are 100% screwed up

fact US disability system is broken beyond belief isn't the fault of the fakers,
That's on the US government & to some extent, the American voters for letting it get this bad as it has
If Ur disabled & angry,
try to aim ur wrath at the right source
