[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Medication, therapy, and family/friends support is critical. But, he has to agree to treatment for it to work. Start small, with getting him agree to at least a physical, and see what comes of it. Talk to his Dr about the changes in his behavior and see what kind of referrals you can get.  In the meantime, do some research on what your insurance would/not cover, and take care of yourself. [/quote]

We don't have coverage for therapy. Now what? [/quote]

Therapy is paramount in this situation. I've been broke as hell and am so thankful that I did whatever I had to during that time to get the therapy I needed. It took me a few years to climb out of a deep hole, and I'll always need to work on it, but I would have just descended without therapy to help with the slow climb. He HAS to get the tools and probably medication he needs.

Some therapists will have a sliding scale. Some will have a rate of about $100/appointment without insurance, and just look at your budget and figure out how many times a month you can swing that. Even if it's 1x/month, it's worth it. Even if you have to give up some other things in the meanwhile, it's worth it. It has to be prioritized over everything else until he's stabilized. [/quote]
