Question: If I suffer from depression .....?
I if I suffer from depression and have no insurance and no income can I get help.?

I can't sleep at night when at it's worst and I feel one day I will hurt myself. I loss my job and insurance a long time ago cause my depression has gotten that bad with anxiety attacks causing problems with my job I loss and it's was pretty much down hill from there. I have been trying to get help, but no one seem to care if you don't have the money or insurance. What can I do before it get worst.? I have made previous attempts before in the past 2006,2007,2008 so I have a history of depression due to family,school, and job issues. The closest I have been to death was 2006. I don't care about anything any more but trying to get past my days. I just worry I will one day follow through and succeed in my suicide attempts. It's not getting any better and I can't continue suffering like this like I have in the past 7 years. HELP, anyone!Health Question & Answer


Answers:
Hello, I am Melena, I am not sure who you are but I feel your pain...I have been there. I know what having a stressful family is like and friends that are not you real friends... The best way to get help for this situation is go to the hospital...They are legally not aloud to turn anyone away. They will admit you if you are a harm to yourself or anyone else. They have Dr's who are on staff, tons of nurses and nurses aide to accommodate you. The Dr's will ask you how you are feeling, give you medication and make sure you are ok before they let you leave. You will get a caseworker to help you get a medical card and receive assistance due to mental illness,
you can also get a free lawyer and have them go through applying for ssi and receive a lump sum of money for you not being about to work..I am talking 30 to 40 thousand dollars for the years this has been going on.
A little hint...make sure you go to all you appts and get admitted into the hospital your file follows you everywhere and then will help you in court.
I did it, i have bipolar disorder, it made me not be able to sleep... ect. Then I received 40,000 to help me for not being able to work. you need to apply to ssi though, they will help you Get everything in writing and also keep a journal about how you are feeling.Health Question & Answer

Most counties will have a mental health agency for the public that does not have insurance. They have a sliding fee scale based on income. The one in our county only works with people who have no insurance.Health Question & Answer

I know how you feel, I've suffered depression for most of my life. Many cities and counties have special non-profit charitable mental health facilities which cater to people who cannot afford mental health care. Some even work with the homeless to get them back on their feet and off the street. I would look around and see what you can find but try googling the name of your city (and state possibly) and "free mental health" or "non-profit mental health" and see what you can find.
