Answer 1

I can tell you that you will not be able to get social security from him being adhd and bipolar, but you can go to the health and human services dept and apply for medicaid- which if he is accepted will be more then a god send. Also if you do not qualify they can get you to a clinic where you can get the meds for free. We have a place here that is called Helen Farabee Clinic. You have to set up a consultation appt and from there they will set you up for gettings the meds for free.

Answer 2

I think this will depend on your income also and your ability to pay.  You may also get it at a discount or totally free.  My husband who was unemployed got his meds from the doctor for 3 months for free.  He had to fill out paperwork but it was great.
