I need a psychiatrist but am in debt and cannot afford to pay a $25 or so copay every week. I need medicine so this is why I need to see them but don't know if my PCP knows enough about psychiatric drugs to prescribe them. Should I trust her? She wanted to put me on a drug for possible bipolar but my brother in law is a psychologist and said that is it definitely not advised for me to take it.

Any ideas?
