take it from somebody who has been to that hell and back... you can have the deadliest gloom in your brain and still crack a joke, go to parties and other frivolous stuff. this may or may not be a phony, this is too little to tell.
OK sure, but the issue is fitness for work. Not a general measure of whether she felt bad, but whether she was fit for work.
I would agree with the company if she’s whooping it up at chippendales, she’s fit for work.
Having had several relatives suffer mental illness and/or depression, I say you are spot on.
The question is not whether she needs some type of treatment or whether she is depressed, but whether she is so paralyzed by depression that she cannot work.
If you are on STD for a back problem, you best not be seen chopping wood. If you are on STD for depression, you best not be seen whooping it up.

Who hasn’t at one time or other but you can still get up out of bed & take one step at a time. If she can get herself to the beach, she can get herself to work. That’s the best medicine. Just my opinion.
” you can have the deadliest gloom in your brain and still crack a joke, go to parties and other frivolous stuff. this may or may not be a phony, this is too little to tell.”
True but you don’t publish your “joke” on the interwebs, or make a video of it.
I don’t know this woman’s issues, but if she truly is unable to work and disability payments are at stake then she should not post photos of the times when she has gone out and done stuff.
What people have to realize is smiling or posing for photos does not really mean anything in and of itself. There are many reasons why someone may not be able to work full time or even part time consistently, ranging from sleep problems to medication side effects to just whether you can get through a whole day in a condition needed for being out in public.
When I was on disability, I made certain to get specific direction in from my doctor regarding what I could and could not do, so that there would be no confusion as to what I was supposed to be doing (I had a back problem that couldn’t be diagnosed to any specific difficulty, and which was “cured” with time and physical therapy).
Since my “treatment” was to do as much workout as possible, I needed that in my doctor’s notes since someone seeing me jogging might otherwise think I should be good enough to sit at a desk at work if I could jog and swim in the pool.
I was really depressed when Obama took over our country, but I didn’t think to try to get disability for that.. :-)
