I need to find a FREE psychiatrist - FREE!?!
Question: I mean FREE because I don't have any money. I'm going through a horrible time and need to talk to someone professionally really bad. I have looked up clinics in my area but I can't find anything. Is there a place where I can talk to a doctor online?
I have suicidal thoughts. & bouts of self-injury. No phone to call a suicide help line either... and no friends to talk to. I'm really in a bind and I'm afraid if I don't get help soon it may be the end of me. I refuse to check myself into a hospital because I simply cannot afford to pay any doctors bills. Money is VERY VERY tight for me right now. & I don't want to throw any of my problems on an uneducated stranger from the internet. I need a REAL DOCTOR please!!!!!

Contact your county health dept.
a couple options... most states if not all states have state programs for mentally ill.. find out what it is and where it is... In texas it is MHMR... mental health mental retardation clinics..
Second if you are in need of hospital care you can go to a county hospital or maybe called something else... public hospital.. or something... those type hospitals have government funds to pay for your care if the dr thinks you need to stay.
It sounds like youve put a lot of energy into making excuses for not getting help... if you really feel like it will all end soon if you dont get help then you need to get to a hospital ... nothing matters if youre not alive anymore and if you want to live and a hospital bill which can be paid out over time if it has to be is what it takes to keep living then you need to do it..
Where there is a will there is a way.. good luck
Call your county hospital and ask them if they have a mental health program that goes according to income. Most county's have this but it isn't 100% free. My mom pays about $50 a visit for her psychiatrist visits but it is a lot better than having to pay $300 or more a visit. Good luck.
try suicide.org, suicide.com, go to ER if u feel really bad. talk to me at dogmicjoe@yahoo.com i can help you.
Unfortunately, no-one should be so foolish as to treat someone with such serious problems online, but have you contacted your county/local mental health agency about what help they can offer? Many religious organisations provide free, or low cost psychological counselling, and you don't have to be a member. Some are: Catholic counselling, Methodist church, and the Unitarian Universalists. In the meantime, while you are waiting for an appointment, see suicidal thoughts, and self harm, in sections 5, and 16, at http://www.ezy-build.net.nz/~shaneris My standard post follows: See depression treatments, at ezy-build *(below) in section 2, and consult a doctor, to eliminate thyroid problems, etc. as possible contributing factors: also seek a referral to a therapist using Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or Rational Emotive Behavioural Therapy. It is your decision, and yours alone, as to whether to take any antidepressants offered, but, before you do, read section 1, and check medications out at www.drugs.com so you will be on the lookout for side effects, like sexual dysfunction. My strong recommendation, however, is to follow the advice of my doctor, his associate, and also Marcelle Pick, OB/GYN NP, and Dr. Mercola, as well, at http://www.mercola.com and avoid antidepressants (pages 2V, and 2Z refer, & antidepressant websites: page 2). The reasons why we all share the same view on this are explained in full, as you will find, if you read the whole section. All of their advice, (except prayer, because many people are not religious) I have incorporated into the "core treatments", including others as options, such as the supplements: Inositol, or SAMe, or herbal remedies, like St. John's wort. If you are diagnosed with clinical (major) depression, antidepressants may be necessary for a while, which will give the treatments time to become effective. The antidepressants themselves need at least several days, or even weeks to begin becoming effective. It's a good idea to taper off them slowly, with medical advice, after several months, say, to a couple of years, at most, because they are only effective in the long term for about 30% of people. Because of this, you would be well advised to begin the treatments immediately, and maintain them. I'd just thank your mental health care provider, and pocket the prescription, trying the treatments for a few months, to see if they are sufficient for you, before considering filling it (unless clinically depressed, and having great difficulty functioning, or suicidal, in which case I'd take them). If the amount of daylight you have been exposed to recently has reduced, perhaps due to the change of seasons, see Seasonal Affective Disorder (S.A.D.) in section 2, at * http://www.ezy-build.net.nz/~shaneris and, instead of taking 4 Omega 3 fish oil supplements, daily; replace 2 of them with cod liver oil supplements for the winter months only! (or, as probably a better alternative to the 2 cod liver oil supplements: 1 teaspoonful of cod liver oil, with a little butter, to ensure its use; I take mine on sourdough rye bread, or toast, covered with fishpaste, and pepper, to mask the strong taste). Consider having your doctor test your vitamin D levels. Are there any free clinics, in your area?

Suicide is a permanent solution to a temporary problem!!!!!
I tried it unsucessfully a few years back. Thank goodness I did not succeed, or I would not be here to enjoy the life i am living now. Things change. Sometimes we need to experience the bad in order to appreciate the goo. If you want to email me, schmittp1053@yahoo.com. I will be more than happy to try to help you through this.
suicide hotline or another hotline you can always go to for emergencies or if you really need to talk about something. i am 15 and we have this thing called CROYA for kids and teens and they have a free psychologist that kids can visit, try asking your doctor or finding something in your neighborhood. good luck!!!
