Hi Denise round here the only way you can get mental health treatment without being ripped off is if you have a drug or alcohol problem. So you either get a habit or lie your way in, hoping they don't throw you out. If you abuse alcohol they fawn over you, and if you take heroin, well - it's a red-letter day for them, whereas in truth it's partly your own stupid fault for being weak-willed. I don't mean that. It's just that depressed people and mentally ill people in general are seen as the weak-willed ones. What I've done is found a pliable, but not very knowledgeable, doctor who listens to what I want to try next, p/s pad at the ready. My knowledge comes from PB of course
