Check with the State.  Sometimes they will have an insurance pool for individuals that are considered uninsurable outside of a group plan.  However, the premiums are usually very high.  Good luck.

First of all, you really need to speak to a friend or family member who can keep you accountable. I've considered suicide in the past and the best thing I did was to confide in my parents.\n\nMay I suggest to you Ameri Plan's discount benefits program. They do not have any restrictions on ongoing conditions and you can start saving immediately. There is a hospital advocacy program that assigns you a personal advocate to negotiate with doctors on your medical bills.\n\nThe plan also includes savings on dental, vision, prescription and chiropractic care. I'd check them out. I'm so proud to be with them. I know I shouldn't advertise, but your need sounds great. Let me know if you have any questions. wlakin@ameriplan.net\n\nhttp://www.mybenefitsplus.com/40378118\n\nWe are currently running a promotion for just the dental, vision, prescription and chiropractic plan where you can try it out for 3 months for $23 total. This is a great service. You should check it out!

You are really having a rough time.  If your daughter is under18, don't you have a right by the law to access her records?  It might affect the therapeutic relationship with her psychiatrist.  But I must tell you that psychiatrist are not trained to counsel in the way that your daughter needs.  She is in need of a therapist that works with the psychiatrist. Even the releases of information that need to be signed must be signed by you because you are her guardian up until she is 18 years old.   If she is the one signing all of the forms then she needs to be the one paying all of the bills in regard to her treatment.  Maybe if you stated to the psychiatrist that you are not going to be responsible for her treatment if you cannot meet with him and discuss your daughter.  A competent psychiatrist and a conscientious one would want to get your take on what you were seeing.  he would not just prescribe medication.  Maybe you should seek out another psychiatrist.  Is there a community mental health agency in your area?.  They usually have counselors, psychiatrists, and case managers that work as a team.\n\nI have included some links for some of the laws from most of the states starting with Ohio and an explanation of HIPPA\n\nGood luck

Please call a hotline right now. There are mental health hot lines. There are suicide hot lines. There are abuse hotlines.  Open your telephone book right now and look in the front. There are listings there for help and you need to call one of the numbers now. I don't know where you live but I know in Florida that if you have a mental problem and you cannot afford the medications, then some of the mental clinics and hospitals will give you the medications at little or no cost. My daughter has had mental problems all her life and the times when I could not afford her medications or blood tests, they provided them to me for as little as $3.00 per month. \n\nIf you were in a residential treatment facility, then whay aren't you on medicaide?  You could be on S.S.I disability and that would automatically get you the medicade. \n\nBut the important thing is to call and get help now.  In Florida there is a baker act law, it just means that if the courts or doctors or a family memb er ar friend, thinks that you are a danger to yourself or anyone else, then you are put in a facility until they can evaluate you and get you back on your medications. My daughter has been baker acted 9 times and only once by me and my husband. \n\nIf you can't find a mental health place tonight that will help you, then you should find out which hospital in your area has a psych unit and go to their emergancy room tonight. You are asking for help and here it is. Now GO.

Hi. Am not quite sure but maybe you could ask the professional your spouse is seeing, I suppose? They might be able to give you an address. Could not find anything specific but maybe you could ask at the Arkansas Division of Mental Health services? They might be able to refer you. See the contact numbers at the address below. Best of luck!

The best place is probably going to be your local health department.  \nYou can always call ahead just to make sure, and if they don't provide Medicaid from their offices, they can always refer you to who does or who you will need to speak with.

Every State has a mental health department. You can look up in your area and go in for evaluation.  Then they can refer you or might have a program to help and help pay for the medications if needed.

Smithtown General Hospital went under many years ago. You might check with Mather Hospital, St. Charles or Stony Brook University Hospital. It may be a bit tedious but one of them can assist you. Long shot and last...Call the DA in Hauppauge they have a file on Smithtown General. Hope I helped.

You do have the right to keep your child in his current placement. There are several possiblities to consider\n\n You can get an advocate as previously suggested but there are more than just psychiatrist look under eduational advocates in the phone book.\n\n You can also argue that part of the reason your son has been sucessful is that he is IN the right placement that has allowed him to excel. It is entirely possible thathis ADHD and/or Tourettes will flair under the stress of regular class placement so be prepared and if this happens have a backup plan that the school has agreed to so he is not comprimised by not being able to function as well as he can\n\nYour other option is to contact legal aide and ask them to represent you with the school or refer you to someone who can (they have some lawyers that do this for free) this will often help just to give the school the push they need without haveing to go to court\n\nYou can also ask the IEP be rewritten to reflect his problems with home work and have specific accomodations given to help him get his work in in a timely manner. \n\nAnother thing to consider is he would also be eligible for a 504 plan to provide some accomodations for him which might include riding the same bus he is on resource time for being overwhelmed or if his Tourettesor ADHD flairs up or for homework accomodations\n\nThe school will try and think for you both if you know in your heart this is the right placement for him keep it if you want to try reg class do that but give your self a safety net\n\nGood luck to you both!
