I suppose that just like there’s many ways to get to a tough point in life, there’s just as many ways you can untangle yourself. There’s family, friends, faith, hobbies (very underrated in keeping one’s mind calm)…
If you need medical attention, and you live in the US, you can call the National Association of Mental Illness (NAMI). They have offices in every state and are a wonderful resource for people struggling with depression and the like. I’ll put the link to their site below. I also recommend Needy Meds for discount health care programs and medications and Mood Garden as a community support site for people with depression and bipolar disorder. Also, you can visit a local free clinic or university hospital to get help at a reduced or free rate.
If you can afford private insurance, there are also mental health organizations that are like HMOs except they insure you only for behavioral health issues. They’re called managed behavioral health organizations (MBHOs).
Good luck, and I hope you feel better soon,

You turn to your state and federal government assistance programs (Medicaid, for example)...but you must qualify by income levels...apply at your county offices or talk to your doctor's office about where to go...you can look up state/county government telephone numbers in the phonebook!
GOOD LUCK!

i'd also like to know this, particularly if anyone has a british standpoint on the subject... free councelling, analysis, support etc seems so hard to get hold of if youre an adult even here. would hate to be trying it in the states.

go to your hospital web site and research from there. if you can't find any, contact local therepists, and see if there is any free support group. if not, start your own by advertising in your newspaper personals.
