I'm in Australia and we have whats called medicare which allows us to have 10 individual and 10 group sessions with a therapist where after we pay the full amount we get some of the money back under a mental health plan which is something I guess but for those that need weekly sessions it doesnt get us very far. We also have whats called centre link where you can apply for disability support pension which means you don't pay full price on most medications and also for other things like car registration and transport like on trains, buses and trams.
So I guess in a way I am very lucky but I do feel for all of you in the US and else where, where it is not so easy to have assistance like myself.
