I was approved for SSDI back in January this year. I filed on my own without an attorney so I was able to keep all of my back pay. And yes a lawyer can increase your chances of getting approved but it will cost you if you're successful. Go to the Social Security website to get started. You can file online. Phil gave great info. Tell SS where you've treated. They will request medical records; not from you but from the providers.
I have a psychotic disorder and have been hospitalized twice. SSDI has been a Godsend as I can't work due ongoing psychotic symptoms (i.e. hearing voices). Based on your diagnosis, and no prior hospitalizations, I would recommend an attorney. Good luck!
