How do i get Mental Health help without health insurances?
Many states have a local mental health clinic that will help to diagnos and treat mental health issues. They can be funded through state programs. These programs can be found by calling your state’s Department of Health and Human Services.
There are also some community resources that may be available. Avis Goodwin, here in New Hampshire, is an example of a community non-profit resource that provides all kinds of health services to the underprivaledged on a sliding scale fee. Depending on your location, you should be able to find community health centers that offer this kind of service.
If you are in crisis, emergency room doctors and police are able to take you into emergency mental health centers, which are often paid for Medicaid. If you are not in crisis, and meet income eligibility requirement, Medicaid may become a viable source of insurance for you. This could help find a mental health professional in your area.
