I get that, but I’m stuck on how to proceed. I don’t like being manipulative but no amount of talking, expressing concern, making an appointment, etc is working. On top of that I have 2 out of state relatives (and one who recently died) to care for — and two teens one of which is struggling. I am at my limit. [/quote]

I think there are probably a lot of limitations to telehealth therapy but this seems like a good application. Try one and see if they can help you work through your plan and how to wrestle with your conflicts here. [/quote]

I had not considered telehealth. Since he does not have a PCP what is the best way to get this started? Do I call insurance or a random doc or something like Patient First?[/quote]

He will need to be examined, which you can't do over telehealth. But you could still start with telehealth if he'll do it -- that provider can be the one to convince him that he needs a thorough eval. [/quote]
