Organic mental disorders are psychological or behavioral abnormalities associated with a dysfunction of the brain. Diagnosis of organic mental disorders requires the demonstration of a loss of specific cognitive abilities and medically documented persistence of at least one of the following symptoms:
Organic mental disorders affect many aspects of a person’s life, and financial troubles only make the entire situation worse. If the symptoms of a mental disorder are severe enough, it could be impossible to perform any kind of work. Through proper psychiatric care and a stress-free life, however, there is hope for a prosperous and balanced future.

Once you file the reconsideration paperwork, someone who was not involved with your initial application will conduct a complete review of your documentation. They will consider both the original evidence and any new evidence regarding your disability.
If the SSA makes an unfavorable reconsideration decision, you can then ask for a hearing before an administrative law judge (ALJ). You may be able to provide additional evidence to support your case at this point, and, at the hearing itself, the ALJ will question you as well as any witnesses you bring. In some cases, the hearing can be conducted via video conferencing.
If you don’t agree with the hearing decision, the next level is a review by Social Security’s Appeals Council. This council will review all documentation as well as the processes involved with the previous reconsideration and the hearing. The Council may deny a request if it believes the ALJ made the right decision; otherwise, the Council will decide the case itself or send the case to an ALJ for further review.
If you disagree with the Council, or the Council refuses to review your case, you can file a lawsuit in a federal district court.
