    How can I find a free psychiatrist?
    I'm studying about bipolar and depression I found out that I may be self-diagnosing. How can I find help with no money?:confused:

    A lot of areas have free/low pay clinics. Try the health department or if you have a university/state hospital in your area then they should have a low cost/free clinc. If you would provide your state we may be able to Google up a list for you.

    I recommend that you see a psychiatrist with a good reputation and established practice. Free clinics often have *residents*(in training) in psychiatry seeing and diagnosing the patients.

    You good health is most important, you can make room in a budget to see the best physician available. It's super important. You don't want to start labelling yourself and medicating yourself on an incorrect diagnosis.

    I think everyone is bi-polar in some degree... seek out family and friends they are always free... just go with your own intuition about who is helping and who is not. You will know by how you feel.

    I may be self-diagnosing

    The problem with that would be if you begin prescribing your own treatments... such as rounds at the bar... I was once in a bar, where I overheard a bunch of the regulars telling what diagnosis they thought they might have... as they drank their dinners. None mentioned alcoholism.

    If you are in the United States, many local agencies have sliding fee scales based on your income.

    I was molested from the time I was 3 to the time I was about 9 or 10.
    And in later years, when I was about 12, I was molested again.
    When I was 14, I was put on drugs and taken advantage of by my sister's high school friend.
    I understand what it's like. I know there are many emotions and problems you go through when
    Things like this happen to you. There are many people out there who are willing to talk to
    Others who have these problems. Myself included. ( [email protected] ) But also, there
    Are things you have to resolve within yourself, by yourself, to actually get past this. And
    No one will be able to tell you what those things are. I used to wonder why God would let something
    So horrible happen to me. Now I a glad, because I can try my best to give comfort to those out
    There, like yourself, who are dealing with similar problems.I hope this message gives you some
    Encouragement that there is hope. E-Mail any time if you feel the need.

    I have a friend who's girlfriend just got of jail for possession. They don't have any money to spare for her to see a therapist, but he told me today she really needs to talk to someone. She is definitely an addict. They live in Boynton Beach FL. Are there any universities in that area that offer free or very inexpensive counseling.
