I was diagnosed with bipolar disorder when I was 15 years old. When I was 17 years old my stepmother decided that I was just trying to get attention and she took me off my meds without consent from a doctor. Now I am having problems in my marriage because of my disorder. I called my local mental health place but they said they couldn't help me. They told me to go to a family doctor to be put back on my meds. But I don't have insurance and I can't afford a doctor's visit or to fill a prescription. What else can I do to get the help I need so that I can be normal?

Look up all natural health. Much healthier than what doctors give you...makes you more sick!

Apply for Medicaid or another form of government-assisted program in order to get insurance coverage. It sounds as though you really want to help yourself, so I'm sure you'll find a way. Good luck!

Your mom sucks. Look in the phone book under social services. There are places that will help you. I work for a nonprofit. If you email me I'll try to help you. My email is in my bio. Good Luck and God Bless.

If you go to a state run mental health facility, they have to see you, and they charge on a sliding scale. You can always go to the E. R. and tell them your symptoms. They have to treat you there. Do not give up hope...explore every resource.

Is it possible that you can be put on your husbands insurance? Check into that. Also Cook County Hospital accepts walk ins with no insurance, and an excellent hospital. God Bless!
