Will the judge consider a claimant’s mental or psychiatric condition in determining if I am disabled or not?

The judge will also consider whether the claimant suffers primarily from the following physical or mental impairments which are considered severe under Appendix 1 to subpart P or Part 404 of 20 CFR and from depression, or anxiety, or other conditions that are severe enough to interfere with the Claimant’s activities of daily life and preclude the Claimant from substantial gainful activity and/or full time employment or its equivalent.
 
It is hoped that the evidence in your case will show that the claimant cannot and could not perform sustained work activities in a competitive work environment and as a result thereof; is disabled now and was disabled at the time of the date upon which the Claimant has alleged the Claimant was disabled.
