I need help paying for alternative mental health treatment?
I currently suffer from 3 mental health diagnoses and see a psychiatrist and a therapist who is a specialist in my specific issues. I have run out of options in terms of psychiatric medications according to my doctor. I have tried every classification, combination, dosage, brand, etc that could help with my symptoms and I am still barely getting through each day. I understand that medications are only part of the equation to wellness and that in order to improve your life you need to find other
ways to get better as well. So I am looking into yoga and equine therapy, acupuncture, massage, etc. My doctor suggested electroshock therapy but I am not ready to try that yet. Can anyone give me some suggestions as to what I can do? It's so hard to even get myself out of bed each day with my depression so I have to force myself to do anything, but I know I need to try. The thing is I don't know how I'm going to pay for all this, especially since it's not meds and talk therapy

go to your local social services agency and find out what resources are available to you in your community. you do not mention what mental health problems you have specifically so it is hard to say what i think you should do. if you need to feel happier, i suggest more exercise, getting a dog, and volunteering in your community.
