I just find it so hard to believe that there arent free services like that offered in the U.S. someone please tell me that there is! I know there are mental health associations in the states just like there are over here...dont they provide free services? I'd appreciate any answers cause its just bothering me! Thanks :)
Edit: To aholes like here comes the sun....I don't mean anything bad by it, like I'm not insulting the U.S or anything. And tax rates are just fine. its a small price to pay for everyones health. if anything people over here complain that we should have better health care.
Also thanks to those who answer my question respectfully! :)
No I haven't tried gluten free yet! Thanks for the response :)

Some counties in the state do provide some mental health services, but its based on your income, and the waiting period to get in to see a councelor is months. And when you do get in to see someone, its in and out because there are so many people trying to get in. When you do see a county councelor, you are limited to 3-4 sessions. They try to set you up with a regular therapist, which unfortunately costs quite a bit of money.
I am lucky enough to have insurance. Very good insurance in fact. I get unlimited benefits at no cost to me. I think its ridiculous that insurance companies limit you to a certain amount of benefits a year. Some or most mental illnesses are just as or are more serious than other conditions. If I had a heart condition, would they only let me see my cardiologist 6 times a year? I find that the US healthcare system is ridiculous. My psychiatrist charges my ins company $ 190 for a 15 minute visit, and my outpatient therapist charges $ 320 for a 50 minute appointment. Its just horrible to think of all the people out there who really need help but can't afford it. It makes me sick!!

there are free mental health providers, but the system is over flowing with indigent people. Most people work in the medical profession to make money, so the free providers are usually operated by people with second rate educations. Some of the free providers have a waiting list for treatment ( your suicidal, take a number ). I worked in a state mental hospital, it was quite similar to a prison, except the food is better in prison. In America you get what you pay for.

There are. It's actually not too difficult to get some form of insurance if you are low income. Many people don't know where to look and others choose to go without insurance. In my opinion, it's really the people in the middle class who really have problems paying for health care.
by the way, have you ever tried gluten free as a way to control your anxiety? I've had great results with a gluten free diet. I used to have terrible anxiety.
