Is it possible to receive therapy without health insurance?

Question

I periodically get thoughts of suicide going through my head and feel worthless because of unemployment. I experience feelings of happiness then maybe within the next week I feel depressed again. I have so many thoughts and fears in my head about my future also. Would I be able to see a therapist if I have no job or insurance? I live with my parents and sister but hardly talk to them because they can't understand or are of no help. Sometimes I pray to God for answers but I think therapy wouldn't hurt.

Answer 2

Depends which side of the 'pond' you live.......not sure how things work in the USA but here in the UK you are entitled under the NHS to receive help, you can also see a psychologist privately which will cost about £60 - £80 per session.

Good Luck x

Answer 3

I think you're right - therapy could be a help.

Most insurance companies don't cover mental health expenses anyway (or not very many visits).  So most people have to pay for it themselves.

If you ever feel really very suicidal, go to a hospital emergency room, regardless of the cost.

You deserve to feel better, so you should reach out to get the help you need.

Answer 4

get some help talk to someone you trust

even if its your doctor of a friend

good luck

Answer 5

Most places in the USA have some sort of state run or city run program for people in low income brackets.  

Google if for your location.

good luck.

Answer 6

There are many places that will accept a 'sliding scale' agreement...this means that you only pay what your are able to afford...when you call for help you simply mention that you are finaciaLLY LIMITED AT THE TIME...mOST WILL OFFER GUIDANCE IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION FOR YOU TO ATTAIN SOME TYPE OF COUNSEL.Do not hesitate to seek assistance, especially when your life is presenting you with challenges that you may view as overwhelming...I suggest that you also utilize your internet highway...going to www.webmd.com & do a search for therapist/doctors/counselors etc within your area will give you a beginning. As well as seeking others who have experienced the journey you are about to face...go to www.care2.net & look for groups there [Yahoo groups has some as well] who share their depression & lifes stuggles[depending on your particular circumstance]. I wish you strength & perserverance during this time...PLEASE try to view each & every obstacle as a 'stepping-stone' towards resolve....with every adversity there lies a 'seed for opportunity'...it is up to YOU to find this to be true~ Take care~

Answer 7

I don't think you have a mental health problem. You need to figure out what you want to do with your life. You need a career or purpose. Meantime keep applying for jobs. Show up for interviews with a positive attitude, on time and neatly dressed. If you have no skills, start with fast food restaurants. Then develop some skills or knowledge. Go back to school. Start at a city college where it won't cost a fortune. Once you have something else to focus on, believe me, you won't have time to dwell on self doubt and become depressed.
