United States Eighth Circuit

District court's denial of petitioner's application for disability insurance benefits and supplemental security income is affirmed as the ALJ's conclusion was supported by sufficient evidence that petitioner's mental impairment was not disabling, so long as he took his prescribed medication, and a physician's opinion that petitioner was disabled was inconsistent with the evidence.
