Any ideas?

These days, just to see a therapist to talk for an hour costs almost $200. A psychiatrist who prescribes the meds cost much more. It is a ripoff for people who need mental health care but who cannot get help or insurance coverage for it are most definately SCREWED. The system needs to change because it costs a whole lot more than going to a regular doctor for an exam. Mental healthcare officials charge so much that if you do have insurance, especially like Medicare and the like, then the state pays an extremely big amount per year on just one person. Think of how much one mental health clinic can get in one year from the state, like Medicare and the like, for people who need help.
