I don't know how it works in all countries but for England it is classed as a disability. You can at least apply. I just hope you can try and fight it instead of letting it beat you. When I was first diagnosed I wanted to get financial support and then I realised I felt better for managing on my own. Hope this doesn't sound rude, I don't know your situation but I just hope you manage without. I'm now officially classed as disabled which helps with things like getting a seat on public transport but I haven't taken it further.
