Does she have tenncare? who is her insurer? Call her insurance company and ask for an assignment to a primary care physician. The PCP can evaluate her and diagnose if she is depressed or if there is something else going on. They can also refer her to a psychologist in your insurance network. Research has proven that most depressives only get better with a combination of therapies- such as counseling and medication, or exercise and counseling or change in diet and medication and exercise. Good Luck

I have anxiety/depression, so it is like I have this wonderful "bank" of knowledge to draw from.  I can't give medical advise, but I can give idea and supportive advise.\n\nThe first idea is to get Mom to the doctor, any doctor that is a general practitioner.  The doctor will ask Mom a series of questions to see if her sickness and depression have symptoms he can diagnose.  Some illnesses cause depressions, this is called "organic depression", that is a depression related or stemming from the illness.\n\nIf Mom is "sick nd depressed" just in general, go to a general practitioner with her.  Sit with the doc and her and get an opinion.  Or two or three.\n\nMost health care insurance providers can also help with referrals.  If no health insurance, most cities and areas have minimum help or "public health clinics". most of which are very good at treating illnesses and depression, as they have seen it all.\n\nIf Mom is depressed, get a health check up, a referral from the doctor to go to a mental health doctor.  Treating depression is seldom a 1,2,3 magic, all gone situation.  It may take months for the meds to take effect or to find the right ones, which is very common.\n\nGetting a diagnosis enables you and mom to also research in the library and on line all the thousands of helpful and easy to read advise web pages and help pages.  In a way, this is also a "treatment" role, as it involves the person in their own healing.  Also, it tend to get the ill person a good feeling from research or that: "Ah Ha. Me too!".\n\nAll meds should be researched by you and mom, as some are not as effective as older ones, as our friendly pharmaceutical industry likes to push "new" meds which generates enormous profits.  A good example is the 85% efficacy of "MAOI" (some which have food restrictions and some which don't) over SSRI's.\n\nThe terms you will find out all about when you and mom research.  You have the power, no one else does.\n\nNaturally, exercise, not smoking, limiting caffeine and taking a close look at diet is needed.  Some foods, such ass heavy meals, starchy foods, heavy steaks, MSG, sugars all have a bad effect on many people.\n\nIf I didn't excercise, walk and bike I would be in very, very big trouble.  And I do it anyway, even if it is hellishly hot in South Florida where I live.\n\nActually, if you only know how much food plays in all this, you would be astounded.\n\nAlso, there is the people factor.  Said plain, when a person is ill and depressed, a close look at who is in the life of the person, who is a good influence and who is a bad influence is one very effective way of augmenting depressions and illnesses.\n\nAlso, the same goes for reading the news, watching the TV and movies.  From now, "light and funny" only.\n\nFear not, it does get better, and you never know, something really wonderful may happen as a result of all this.  \n\nThere are a lot of new meds these days, many options in including using generics medications, and support groups exist both in communities, churches, community centers and on line.

Your local town, city has a mental health association. It is usually free for people who cannot afford it. You can dial 211 and they can help you with where the closest mental health clinic is located. Also try your phone book. As far as needing medical coverage, have you tried to apply with the state just for this? Even your emergency room can put you in contact with someone Even if you are not a harm to yourself! You can also call 211 and they can refer you to one closest to you. I use 211 for everything and it's free. Just know there is help out there for you and mental health clinics are available for all!

i'm not a doctor yet (two more years), but if i were in her doctor's position, i'd say she should pretty much just say what you said. as long as she's not seeing some jerk, he'll be very willing to help out and get her family involved in the situation.  after your daughter has said that she's contacted her doctor about the situation and signed the release, call his office and then you can try to set up a time to talk with him about her case.
