Help needed to find treatment.

Hi

I am joined this forum as I have no idea what to do or where to go. I am also a new to the country and do not know/understand the system with regards to mental health.

Without going into to much detail, I have been depressed for a number of years and attempted suicide once before. I recently lost my job and am feeling very desperate and have major anxiety. I have been able to afford treatment up until 3 months ago but now can't afford my treatment anymore. My doctor will not see me anymore as I can't pay the out of pocket expenses. This make me feel even more anxious and desperate.

What can I do to get rrid of this anxiousness and despair.

Please help!

Thanks for your time.

Algor

dear Algor, this is another post that has slipped through the cracks, so I hope that you still check to see whether this has been replied to.

When you say 'out of pocket expenses' does this include the 10 free visits to any psych, which your GP can organise for you. Geoff.
