Mental health conditions supported by NDIS

[Guest_30759493]

Hi there,

I have BPD, anxiety, sevre despressive diosrder, anorexia - restrictive eating (in remission, I slip up on keeping it under control from time-to-time), potentional PMDD (has been recommended by a Psychiatrist I saw for an ADHD disgnosis I get tested for it), potential ADHD (one appointment with the Psychiatrist wasn't enough but she felt I showed symptoms, also very hard to dignosis as ADHD and BPD have many similarities that cross over) and am medicated for my sevre depression (but I'm getting swapped onto something else because its not working though).

I'm looking for help or information around being eligible for Centrelinks Disability Pension and/or NDIS. Any help would be much appriciated, feeling very at a loss and finding work isn't something I have the capacity for and haven't for some time.

Thank you!

Hey there,

Welcome to the Forums! We are happy to have you here as part of our community.

Navigating the NDIS or DSP can be incredibly challenging and overwhelming. While we can't offer prescriptive advice, we hope that we can provide some links that may be helpful.

It sounds like a good topic to raise with your GP. They can be a great soure of information and local referral. 

Here are a few handy links in the meantime:
- Getting help applying to the NDIS
- DSP help

You are certainly not alone how you are feeling. We have some previous discussions on the Forums which may be helpful: We have an older thread here about applying for DSP, and one hereabout applying for DSP and NDIS. 

It can be a really stressful time. We want to let you know that the Beyond Blue Support Service is here for you 24/7 on 1300 22 4636 or online.

We hope that this can be helpful. Feel free to fill us in along the way with any updates. We are here for you on this journey!

Kind regards
