[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Our mental health system overall is absolute sh&t. Our insurance plans don't cover it, so of course there are not enough providers to meet the need. It's hard enough to get mental health care if you are middle class, if you are poor forget about it unless you have Medicaid and then good luck finding a provider especially if you require specialized care.[/quote] It varies. Actually the DC/Baltimore area — as difficult as it is — has more access to mental health services, particularly services for kids, than most areas, particularly for people with Medicaid. Which might give you some idea of the extreme lack of resources in many areas of the country. [/quote]
