Psychosis is considered an impairment when it significantly interferes with an individual’s ability to carry out daily activities, maintain employment, and engage in social interactions.
Mental health professionals, including psychiatrists and psychologists, often make determinations of impairment due to psychosis. These professionals assess the impact of symptoms on various aspects of an individual’s life and functioning.
Here are some considerations for when psychosis may be considered an impairment:
If psychosis significantly impairs a person’s ability to perform basic activities of daily living (ADLs), such as personal hygiene, eating, dressing, and maintaining a safe living environment, it may be considered an impairment.
Psychosis can impact a person’s ability to work. If the symptoms interfere with job performance, attendance, and the ability to interact with colleagues or customers, it may be viewed as an impairment.
Psychosis can affect social interactions and relationships. It may be considered an impairment if it leads to isolation, strained relationships, or difficulty in participating in social activities.
Impaired cognitive functioning associated with psychosis, such as difficulties in concentration, memory, and problem-solving, can contribute to disability.
If psychosis poses safety concerns for the affected individual or others, it may be considered an impairment. For example, if someone is unable to make sound judgments due to psychotic symptoms, it can lead to risky behaviors.
The duration and severity of psychotic symptoms are essential considerations. Chronic or severe psychosis that persists over time and significantly impairs overall functioning may be viewed as an impairment.
The effectiveness of treatment in managing psychotic symptoms is also considered. If symptoms are not adequately controlled with treatment, it may contribute to the severity of impairment.
It is important to note that psychosis is a complex mental health condition with varying degrees of severity and presentation. Treatment options may include medication, psychotherapy, and support services. If you are filing a disability claim based on psychosis, or if your claim has already been denied, we can help.
