My little sister shows all signs and symptoms of having Bipolar Disorder. She is seventeen, turning eighteen in November. My parents, who she lives with, do not believe in taking medication, or in having Bipolar disorder. They believe that she's 'just a teen' or that she 'wants attention' and that's why she's a 'problem child'.
When she is eighteen, she says that she wants to see if she can get diagnosed, and either undergo therapy, or chemical therapy. I don't think my parents will lets her use their insurance coverage for it. How do you get insurance? She is going to be a full-time student. Through the school we both go to, they offer an insurance plan, but nothing that would cover psychological disorders, medication or any condition that is persistant. It's more for accidents. I want to help her, I just don't know how. She can't work full-time, so she probably won't be able to get coverage from being a full-time employee. Help!
