Health retreat for depression covered by health insurance?

Matine — Sat, 22 Oct 2016 19:42:47 GMT

Hi there,

does anyone know of any health retreats / clinics covered by health insurance?

As background, I have treatment resistant chronic depression and have been in and out of mental hospitals over the past 2 years. I've tried every anti-depressant deemed relevant, tried TMS and tried ECT. Nothing works.

Right now I am struggling to cope but don't want to go back to a hospital environment where they don't do regular exercise / yoga, don't focus on healthy eating, don't have therapies other than pushing more medicine down your throat.

So does anyone know of a place I can go which would be covered by private health insurance that could help?

thanks

Hello Matine

Welcome to the forums and thankyou for posting too

I have never heard of a health clinic that is covered by health insurance. There are probably private clinics that have in depth therapeutic assistance where mental health is concerned, but Im sorry I cant answer your question

I have had acute anxiety followed by depression since 1983. Ive always been fit and have had a healthy diet. Just for me weekly counseling and meds were the only way out the maze of the bulk of my illness.

I hope someone can help you find what you are looking for Matine

my kind thoughts for you

Paul
