Middle class and the working poor like me are either turned away or asked to pay ridiculous prices for health care. It stinks. Our lives are worth saving, and we deserve proper treatment for mental illness. Best of wishes, at least we can support each other.
That's it exactly? I was in a crisis unit last week and because I have a home ( sec 8)the case workers couldn't really do anything for me. As for therapy and groups, if I didn't have medicare/medicade I would have been able to get in a partial program? As it is I've not the right kind of insurance for anything except seeing a Pdoc once every 3 months.....and that's not working.

If I had money to throw away on a lottery ticket I might, just might hit the jackpot and get the money for treatment.....that's so pathic. Needing to win a lottery to get treatment. That or do something criminal!
