I'm wishing your son great success at graduate school and his endeavors during and beyond! I can't fully know what is best for your son. He will need to think hard about that. He's obviously an adult now. If any decision is ever a mistake or comes with complications, that will be his to work through. We all need to learn as we go through life. Mistakes are often just as valuable of learning experiences as instant successes, albeit less desirable ones. He'll see. I do assume that as a graduate student he qualifies for student insurance and related services? If so, then he should consider them, at least. I recall as a student that I went to a university psychiatrist once. Back then, however, I didn't have my firm diagnosis. Nor did I know then what I know now.

I voted in the "depends" category because I don't (and can't) know your son's situation. As for me, there were times when $10K would have been worth keeping an old mental health team, but it isn't so much now. In fact, despite adoring my American psychiatrist, I will give him up in the near future. I'm in a much better place now than I was in past years.
