What Is Seasonal Affective Disorder?
For many Americans, the holiday season is a season of joy and happiness. Whether you are engaged in parties with friends or co-workers or enjoying a gathering of family members or friends at home, there often seems to be much to celebrate and be thankful for during these times.Unfortunately, for others, the holiday seasons bring out negative feelings and emotions. The winter months often bring much colder and harsh weather, including New Jersey, and winter also keeps sunlight to a minimum with shorter days and less sunshine.Add to it many other personal factors that may come into play, such as being single or missing loved ones who have died, and it is not hard to imagine why some people have a difficult time during the holiday season.
There is even a term and a recognized condition for this called a seasonal affective disorder or SAD. Mental disorders such as depression may initially be triggered by SAD, but may extend well beyond the holidays and winter months. There are Social Security Disability benefits for mental conditions in place that recognize that severe depression and other mental disorders may cause a person to not be able to properly function or maintain a job. If you or someone you know suffers from depression, you may qualify to receive Social Security Disability benefits to financially help you through your difficult and dark days. It is important to note that Social Security Disability is not designed to fully cover medical expenses, but may help supplement costs of life and lost wages while a victim fights to recover from their mental condition.

Hiring Terry Katz and associates to represent my interests in my Workers Compensation and Social Security Disability case proved to be a smart decision that yielded an extremely successful outcome.
Through the lengthy and intricate process I came to realize just how valuable having a team of highly skilled representation was, and that is just how to describe the law firm of Terry Katz and Associates “Highly skilled legal representation”. I’d like to thank the entire team who worked on both my cases all of whom were always professional, knowledgeable and extremely caring. Throughout my entire case all of my calls and emails were always returned in a timely manner. My questions always answered competently and professionally. I always understood the process and felt a confidence in the process that I would not have had if not for hiring Terry Katz and Associates.
Mostly I’d like to thank Ms. Langdale who worked tirelessly on both my workers compensation case and my social security disability case. Her representation and legal prowess in the court room was nothing short of impressive to witness. I will never forget how confidently represented and protected I felt during her opening remarks at my social security disability hearing.
During these difficult times I was truly grateful to have Ms. Langdale working so diligently and expertly for my interests.
