There are plenty of doctors who would still say whatever you want them to say for a price.
First, the Social Security Administration now places more weight on self-reported pain and discomfort, has relaxed the screening of mental illness, and accepts medical evidence from the applicant’s own doctor. The share of awards for mental illness rose from 16 percent in 1983 to one third in 2010, while the share of back pain rose from 13 percent in 1983 to 28 percent. Together they account for more than half of disabilities. Of the 2.7 million workers on disability for mental disorders, 1.7 million have “intellectual and mood disorders.” Even young people can be declared disabled if they get nervous at work or school, have attention deficit disorders,

Rule by mob! I thought as someone pro republic you would balk at mob tyranny.
Leaving it in the hands of untrained people is reckless! What if they get it wrong? And they will and some mob drives a real innocent person to sucide? Thats what happens when the untrained mob is left to call the shots, innocentd go down with the guilty, it why vigalantes are illegal or restricted.

I would start by not allowing so called ptsd claims when it involves car wrecks and other everyday risks, I chocked on my water I cant look at the ocean or lakes without thinking I'm going to drown.
Researchers at the University have found that children who experience severe trauma are three times as likely to develop schizophrenia in later life.
Everybody deals with their own grief differently. Some people dont come back from it. Some have had mental problems without getting diagnosed for them, earlier traumatic experience pushes them into schizophrenia.

State by state, person by person re-evaluation.
I know who goes first!! There are many people RIGHT NOW collecting disability who receive ZERO treatment!
BYE-BYE!!
I brought up my PTSD because it's one of the 'invisible' disorders that nobody can really see.
Not to mention the study released this year saying PTSD can lead to Diabetes.
