I’m sorry that you are feeling this way, and faith is great for the soul and a way to live...but we must also take care of our mind and bodies.
I hope that you do well.

I think we need more information, as it depends on the type of NP. If it's a psych NP, then I don't see the issue. Not all of them are bad, and they tend to be better than regular GPs because they at least have some formal training in psychiatry, even if it's not as extensive as a psychiatrist's training. However, if it's a
traditional NP who works in internal/family medicine, then I would find a psych nurse if that's all OP can afford.
But yes, OP can qualify for state assistance since they're in the U.S.. There are community mental health centers that can help, even if they're not the greatest.
