Many hospitals have a Behavioural Health department, check and see if there is one closest to you, they can try to help direct you to who you can work out some sort of payment plan, not knowing your financial status, you can see if the county or state can give you financial assistance.
One of my mom's (is in low income housing) neighbor also of low income (ex Viet Nam vet) told me he had to work stuff through the state which has helped tremendously with reducing pdoc/therapist fees, the medical center in their county with the Behavioural Health Dept works along with those of low to nearly no income.
The quality of care from the pdocs are not any different, so that is good to know.
I happen to go to the same group he and his daughter go,but I pay 142.00 for 20 minute med monitoring/follow ups.
I didn't get personal, but he said they are paying nearly nothing due to his low income. The county/school system was also of help years ago when his daughter first was DXed.
I have a brother who lives in another state, that also gets assistance for his needs, I'm not sure but I think his pdoc gets paid through the state or government.
I do not know if this has been of any help, but if you can see what is available, don't give up on meds and treatment.
Maybe, you can arrange to work with a social worker to help get the ball rolling,inquire with your county's department of mental health/human services.
I wish you lots of luck with this.
Please take care,
