[quote=Anonymous]Many people here do not realize how difficult it is to get appropriate treatment for a mentally ill family member. As others have pointed out, even if a person is determined to be a danger to himself or others, they are hospitalized only briefly. Psychiatrists in this area are hard to get into and are essentially private pay. Add to that the issue that the particular illness may not be amenable to medication but may need specialized therapy that is not widely available. That leaves very expensive private pay inpatient options, most of which have limited or no insurance coverage. We are looking into that now for our family member, but the financial implications are considerable. Yes, we keep the person at home and battle the medication out with him. For those not in this situation, be grateful we don't put him on the streets. If there is anything the world doesn't need it is one more mentally ill homeless person.[/quote]
