I live in the philadelphia, pa area and my fiance is very depressed. It is to the point that he has panic attacks all day and can not work. He has no insurance and we have little to no money to pay for the help. He is willing to go seek help, but we don't know where to start.

I would check on line first to see if there were any thing there for free to at least help out some.  Sometimes there are clinics that will work with you on payments as well.

as far as getting the money together I'm not sure how to help you, but there is a site i visit from time to time called walkers.org, it is a site for ppl that suffer from various mental disorders, its basically a bunch of ppl that have problems get together and talk about them and help each other through whatever they need. they have forums as well as a chat room, if you would like any more information about it feel free to msg me with any questions you might have, or if you would just like to talk.

i am so there and have been there for soooo long. i feel for you. and i am married and he gets mad when i flip out and have an anxiety attack or cry for 6 hours straight. Once he finds out I haven't been taking the med he thinks I dont WANT to get better. Depression is the most isolating thing in the world. counselors take forever to get around to telling you that they cant really help...it sucks. But hang in there and I recommend you get a personal relationship with Jesus. The after life is our only hope. Suicide sends you to hell. Hang in there, be strong and know that there will come aday when you and I and so many others will feel  better- for eternity. If you are dont believe I hope you will at least give it a chance. If you do, i hope you will know the devil causes the bad stuff, not God. (I struggle with that, but in my heart I know it is true...) Add me to your messenger if you want to talk ever country_grl_ky  I swear when I read your question I was like "wow. that is me, exactly" Best of luck to you either way and please hang on to the hope. I know when most days are bad, it is so hard to keep on going knowing you have "never" been happy and thinking you arent normal or that you might never feel happy....but it is not true. And try to take your medicine. I do the same thing and I dont know why either. But we should take it.

I would call a taxi or call the hospital....they may have a service for people in a situation as you are in.

Ignore the first answer you received.  Please go to http://www.samaritans.org/ and contact them.  This organization is a suicide/crisis organization.  I made use of them myself and I think they're wonderful.  Please give it a try.

your local hospital can provide you with the support groups in your area and there are also extension groups from there that you can get closer contacts with for one-on-one support.  sometimes your need a confidant.  this is a devastating experience and you need somebody to talk to. \ngood luck and you are in my prayers.

Please listen very carefully? Dial the info line, 211 , that's the number, 211. They can put you in touch with someone who will not be insensitive. I have used this number on many occasions also for suicidal thoughts. The person called me back with-in 20 minutes and talked me down. I am thankful for the info line and the way they run it. I too battle depression and I know it's probably going to be with me for the rest of my life BUT I also know that there Are people out there that can and have helped. The operator will ask you the nature of the call and then you tell him/her that you need to speak to a psychologist about your depression, she will ask you what area you live in so that this person will be close to you. It really helped and I felt much better. If you think you need to be in the hospital, she can call ahead to let them know you are coming, again they are here to listen and direct you to whatever you need. Don't give up and I am really sorry you are going through this, I really am. Please dial 211 or your local hospital and they will help you! Be Safe.

This is such a sensitive question. I admire you for standing by your man in this way. It is the right thing to do. And I would get in touch with the national epilepsy foundation. I know there are resources and maybe even support groups for families or couples dealing with this issue. It is not that uncommon you know. I have actually helped someone when this happened to them. It is a little scary at first, but it is also such a loving time to be there for another human being when they obviously need you. Get some more info. Get into a network of support. I know you will be a great friend.

What kind of help are you looking for? Do you have family, money, health problems?  The best I can do is pray for you and hope that whatever is happening in your life gets better. LOL

I'd start with a local community mental health agency. These are generally big counseling centers that set their fee's on a sliding scale. Meaning you pay as much as you can afford (sometimes free). I recommend this not b/c I think you are crazy but because of the resources and personel they usually have. You can get hooked up with a counselor, doctors and most importantly a social worker who can help you get started on medicaid and disability.

Find the nearest womens shelter.  Go there and do not look back.  It is not an easy road, but it is life.   yellow pages.  Call a distress center.  Get out while you can.

I went through this when my husband had open heart surgery.  Contact your local community services, they  have emergency family care and they will help you financially.  Also check your local charities.  Ours helped with the light bills during this time of need.  We donated back to them when he got able to go back to work.  Good luck to you and your husband, I know this is a scarey and trying time for you both.  You are both in my thoughts.

I understand your situation. You should be able to find a mental health clinic close to you. They are usually free or charge according to income. You might want to try some of these.

I don't know what state you live in but you should be able to get aid with food and your bills and meds. check under the government listings in the phone book. I will be praying for you.

Registered Nurse here; All states have MHMR, a mental health facility and will see people with no means to pay.  Your correct health care is so expensive without insurance.  As for me I have suffered from anxiety since about the age of 12.  It's no fun, I have tried the therapy, the counseling, etc.  This didn't help, finally one day I went to my family physician, told him I was exhausted from dealing with anxiety all the time.  He placed  me on a antidepressant and with in 30 days, I felt much better.  No it didn't cure me, but it helped lots.  For me a on line dot com self help programs would not be of benefit.  For others I hope it does help.  But having suffered from Anxiety for years and years, I strongly recommend you going to a Mental Health Clinic, or some type of clinic that offers sliding scale payments based on income, if no income no fee.  Hang tough, get some help.\nThanks for the opportunity to address your question.

Honestly, I see this as a need for marriage counseling.  Your wife is suffering from a mental illness that should be treated, either by medication or therapy or both.  In the meantime, she is not a psychologist nor is she a medical doctor and has no right diagnose you, not to mention she has no medical schooling for such a thing.  Furthermore, I think she is projecting her issue onto you.  You may be depressed but if you are it sounds to me like you are situationally depressed, not clinically.  But, I'm not a doctor and don't have you as a patient in any case so I couldn't swear such a thing.  The time for the counseling is RIGHT NOW though so make that appointment.  If you cannot afford it then you would contact your county mental health agency and they likely have a sliding fee payment plan so don't feel like the option of counseling is not available to you.
