Depression and Veterans Disability | All You Need To Know

In this video Leah discusses the intricacies of VA disability ratings for depression among veterans. She explains that depression, a common mental health disorder among veterans, is characterized by various symptoms lasting more than two weeks as defined by the DSM-5. Leah highlights that both psychologists and psychiatrists, as well as mid-level providers like nurse practitioners and physician assistants, can diagnose and treat depression. She distinguishes between primary and secondary service connections for depression, with primary relating to incidents during active duty and secondary stemming from other service-connected disabilities. Ratings for depression can range from 0 to 100, depending on the severity and impact on life, with a 100 rating indicating severe impairment, including self-harm and suicidal tendencies.
