It doesn't mean you can't be approved for Social Security disability just because you don't see a mention of your disabling health problem here. Give us a call. Unless it's a truly rare disorder, we've probably heard of it. Syringomyelia, spasmodic torticollis, or ankylosing spondylitis, for example? Sure, I know about them.
The main thing is that you should get and stay in medical treatment, probably by a specialist, and be a cooperative patient. Take your meds and show up for your appointments. It helps if your doctor is willing to be helpful with the Social Security disability claim but it's not essential.

I have yet in 22 years to have a doctor NOT be helpful. They know I can't work more-so than SSA. I've been lucky enough that my doctors are certainly on my side and will advocate for me. I was asked during my last CDR if I would see one of their doctors. I said "Yes, I'll go in for your 15 minute visit, however, my doctor has seen me for 15 years.". I never had to see SSA's doctors. They continued my SSDI and SSI without further discussion.
You would be surprised how many doctors are NOT helpful.
