local community health agencies have counseling/therapy on a sliding scale, meaning $1 week if u have no insurance. being over 18 allows you to qualify and not have to share info with family if you don't want. If you will require anti depressant meds, they can give u samples. As someone who has experienced depression my whole life, and being a therapist myself, I know meds and therapy work the best together. U don't have to go forever, just awhile to get u over this episode. Praying for u...take each day one at a time

For a period of time I got meds from Patient Assistance programs directly from pharm companies. This might be worth checking to see if you qualify with the help of therapist or local community agency.
@mocuishle Welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect, a place to give and get support.
You have some great information that you shared. Are there any other resources you would suggestion to members, that may help them access mental health services?

I’m definitely going to have to look into that, because I can afford $1 a week. I just need to look at my local options and try to pick the best one.
