Local clinic story

[mdmc]

Someone very close to me has been disabled by PTSD. He was seeing a psychiatrist, but was struggling to afford the medication and other co-payments. He could not afford to go to counseling, as suggested by his psychiatrist.

He ended up losing his job and going on disability.

He still has health insurance through his domestic partner's employer. He could buy in to medicaid for about $420.oo per month (which is an excellent bargain, if you can afford it).

He went to the local mental health clinic. He told them his story.

The local mental health clinic agreed to see him for therapy and medication management FOR FREE. They started him with bi-weekly therapy sessions and bi-monthly medication management sessions (psychiatrist). FOR FREE!

My local mental health clinic provides the best treatment for mental illness. The are way ahead of the private sector and far more effective at reducing symptoms and developing skills.
