If you are in the US...there is probably a county mental health clinic/department in your area. They work on a sliding scale, based on income. It's worth checking into, it's a good starting point. There are programs that can help you get the medication you need, but first things first. You should be evaluated by a mental health professional. Depression is a very serious illness, but it is treatable. Not getting you the help you need and are asking for borders on medical neglect.

See a thearapist or psyciatrist <sp?>.  Therapy and/or dication helps alot.  If the situation gets to bad and your affraid that you might hurt yourself in the real near future, get yourself to the ER / Hospital.  Psyc. hospitals aren't as bad as they are protraited and it may save your life.\n\nIn short there is help out there, if you can't find it on your own, your family doctor can steer you in the right direction.

Find a support group.  Get to know your neighbors and other members of the community either online or personally on your free time.  Going through a crisis such as this is tough, but it can be made easier by having people to discuss matters with.  The thought of having a regular set of people to take your mind off the situation at home allows you to not wallow too much on a situation that you have no other choice but to deal with ... think "Desperate Housewives" ;)

Try looking in the Government Section of your local phone book.  Check for County Mental Health.  Many counties in the Country offer Mental Health Services for eveyone on a 'pay as you can' basis.  Good Luck.

I am a psychologist and I can tell you that just about any therapist should be able to help you out with this.  My advice is to look up "mental health" in the phone book and call around to different therapists to see if they take medicaid.  You should also try your community mental health center - you can probably find out their number on your county website - and they will either take medicaid or provide you with services at very low cost.  Good luck!

Unless you can find a kind soul to take you in off the streets your chances of a happy existence are really not good. You need some stability in order to complete you education, which you won't be able to do if you are scrounging to find food and shelter all the time. Try to withstand the mental abuse for a little while longer until you are ready to strike out on your own. Seek family counseling, I bet lots of people can assist you in finding help. Running away should be your very last resort.

I am at a shelter.\nThe one I left was no more than a dinner and a bed.  The one that I'm in now has a place to go during the day(with Internet access, obviously), lunch, case management, and is tied into Mental health.\nContact me if you need to know more.

If there is another adult in the home, you need to ask them to get ther the help she needs. There are medications that can help her psychotic symptoms. If she's the only adult in the situation, see if you can get help from someone outside your home that she will listen to. Unfortunately, if she's out of touch with reality in any area of her life then she does not see the need for doctors, medications or getting help, so sometimes you have to get help to make her do what she needs to do. If you don't have any relatives or friends nearby who can help, then consider going to a pastor or teacher. They may at least be able to help you get her some aid.

I understand what your going through!! I was in the same position without a case manager.I called the Dept of Human Services and asked for a Social Worker to help me with all my issues. She has been a great help. I have a mental health worker and someone like a REM worker assigned to me. The 3 of them work together to help me achieve my goals. So you might try there or see if there are and volunteer orgnz. in your community that help with independent living skills. Hoped this helped!!

I think you should move out even if your not sure you can do the things suggested by the previous posted. Don't go far enough that you can't get help if you really need it and so people who care about you can keep an eye on how your doing, but also pride yourself on your new found independence and don't run to them for simple things. Get roommates if you can, it lowers your rent and helps you get a better feel for things - roommates usually don't operate like a family, they operate like independent individuals living under the same roof, and they can teach you a lot if you need to learn.

Your son is an adult now and needs to make his own way in this world. I don't know his living situation, but I would recommend if anyone is supporting him financially it is time to stop. Enabling him to continue the lifestyle he is living is not in his best interest. When he is on his own, he will be made accountable for his actions. If he cannot hold a job, he will be fired. If he cannot pay his bills, he will be evicted. These things will show him what it takes to survive as an adult in this world. If you truly believe he is suffering from a mental illness you can recommend he go to counselling. However, unless he is a danger to himself or others, no one will be able to make him go to counselling. If it gets to the point where you fear for his safety or the safety of others, dial your local distress line or crisis team. They are located in your phonebook in the Emergency section. They will assess him and transport him if needed to a safe place until he is stabilized. Aftercare and follow-up will typically follow his progress for a brief time after his discharge. I wish you and your son the best of luck and good blessings.

what do you mean? Do you need to see a counselor, a doctor or what? Well if you need to have either of the above do you have any medical insurance. Usually it is covered with a small copayment, or your work may have a program, so call ur human resources. If you dont have insurance you can go to clinics run by your state. I live in cali and there are many of them that offer low cost services...you see the MD and ask/ tell him that you are having psych problems and ask for help...they can refer you to someone...THERE ARE LOTS OF FREE SERVICES FOR MENTAL HEALTH so ask around if you dont have insurance. If you are feeling suicidal or homicidal (you want to harm yourself or others) call 911 or go to ER...they will help you..hope this helps..I hope you get help if you need it...dont be afraid to ask for help

Find a walk-in mental health clinic (maybe hospital ER) and go there right away.  I did that 35 years ago whan I was a mixed up teenager and it saved my life.  I got psychiatric help and medication.  Good luck - your life is important.
