Contact your local Mental Health Clinic, Church, Good Samaritan, and other Social Service Organizations. All have money available for this type of need.

Try getting a job at a grocery store. They usually have excellent benefits and usually require no experience. For now... get on St John's Wort about $10 a bottle...It is natural and you wont need to see the doctor first. Surely she could afford that for a daughter with depression. Also it is important that you exercise, eat right, and get the right amount of sleep. Take a daily multi-vitamin also. Belive it or not, that may be the answer to your depression.

Try natural methods by nutrition. Why make drug companies rich so they can get you addicted to drugs that have severe side effects, particularly if you miss taking them. You can check out the testimonials at www.whyplankton.com You can see what happens when you edify your body. When you provide the cells in your body with all the right vitamins and minerals and avoiding things like hydrogenated fats or oils that you find in junk food along with artificial flavors and colors you will be far better off then by patching the problem with drugs. Your body is a self healing mechanism, all you have to do is give it the proper foods and a positive cheerful attitude.

how old are you? you said mom and tht you are under her ins? so maybe you are in school? go talk to the school counselors! they can help!!! and the getting a job; apply some more! also if you are a teen or preteen ask your parents to look into free county programs offered by health and human services...there may be support groups out there for you! or even finding a friend you can talk to or even a secure person to chat with online?
oh; and eventhough i dont know what you are depressed about; start to change your outlook on your own...i know you'll say well who the heck is she; she doesnt know me...but...really change your outlook...your log in was losersrus...start looking at yourself in a better light no matter the source of depression. and everyday look yourself in the mirror and say something good...sounds cooky i know!

Nearly every community will have what they call an Information and Referral line, usually for each county, many open 24/7 to take calls. They can tell you of community mental health agencies which will see you for free or for a very low sliding scale, possibly as low as $10 depending on where you live. Call directory assistance and ask for the information/referral line for your county.

self medicate with drugs and binge drinking like any self respecting american would, no serriously, just keep looking and eventually you'll find work, or break your arm, that'll cost at least 1500 and meet the deductable and you can go back to therapy

try to relax, do some exercising, eat healthy natural food, take a bath , nice warm tube, talk with friends, chat, read a nice book, try to see the beauty side of life, and try to find any nice job, maybe the key for being free from depresion is in reasearching about God, in really studying and finding out yourself the truth, imagine ,,,living a life in harmony and orther, with spiritual peace and serenity, u can find that if u find the only one truth, good luck

Some therapists accept charge based on a sliding scale depending on your income.
Some local communities offer low cost counseling.
If you are in school, your school may offer student counselors.
The local hospital may offer a low cost service.

Do you live in the States? Here in Canada we have EAP's. Find out if your mom has it. They are 'Employee Assistance Programs'... its free counselling for you or any immediate family member.
