We should only label it illness when it happens in the absence of adverse life circumstances. BTW, pj1280, depressive illness usually (almost always?) gets better, sometimes even without treatment, so disability claims should rarely be honored.moviedochttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03617061594621924756noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26666124.post-75021483306392054832010-08-03T10:40:38.670-04:002010-08-03T10:40:38.670-04:00So in other words, if I'm a social worker and ...So in other words, if I'm a social worker and become depressed as a result of my work, I can then claim disability as a result of my depression, and then have my OWN social worker, who can then become depressed, etc, etc???<br /><br />Sounds like a Ponzi scheme to me.SteveBMDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11937264509253612864noreply@blogger.com
