I have had people imply that in a derogatory manner, the part that bothers me is they are trying to be mean...not the implication that I've got mental issues since that parts true. As for fees, costs can be kind of ridiculous but sometimes there are resources to help with that or places that offer lower costs for mental health services.

I'm on SSI and have medicaid, so the medicaid covers most costs but there are limits on where medicaid is accepted and such.
