I have taken many online tests for being bopolar and they have all come up high. I was wondering if there is anything I can do for this other than phyc.meds. I dont have insurance that covers it. Anyone have any suggestions?

Look in your Yellow Pages under "mental health" or "counseling" for free or low-cost clinics, or therapists who work on a sliding scale. If there is a major university in your town, oftentimes the psychology dept. will run a community clinic as well.

Also, depending on income, you can get meds for free through this program, pparx.org . You will need to see a dr. to get them prescribed, though.

Good luck.

There are programs out there where you can get free help and meds. alot of people with bipolar when it gets very bad cant work and may be homeless. But be warn there are some very very sick people there you may not feel that you fit in at first and be scared off. They are the best places to get help doctor have seen the worst cases of mental illness and know how to treat it and what meds. work the best. Bipolar is like any illness if you let it go it will just get worst and harder to live with .

thanks so much for letting me know there is help, Iam starting with my regular doc today to see if I can get an referral. I know there is somthing goin on with me,I just cant cop with it anymore. As far as being scared of other people, I am sure your right, I am scared of normal, let alone sick. I am not good with people all the time.

I am having similar issues. I too wonder if I am bipolar, will see my therapist soon to ask her. Going for a totally different reason. We have only gone once to see her.
