The price tag on that therapy, for one.
Legitimately, it's one of sickest jokes about this country, that you can spend an hour with a therapist working on improving your mood, walk out of the session, and have it immediately undone when the receptionist tells you what the copay is.
This is so crazy to me. Many mental health places near me won‘t even take insurance. I got an estimate on getting tested for ADHD the other day at 5k. This was after the year wait to even hear back.
I had the same problem with my provider that tested my children, the provider recently stopped taking insurance so they quoted me 11000 dollars to do an autism/ADHD battery of tests so I had to decline, I need to eventually get back around to calling around and see if I can find some luck
At that point, would going to mexico be better? I mean, goddamn, 5k. I got mine done for the equivalent of 500usd.
100% agree that it's fucked up, but also you should check on if there's some sort of a community counseling program. I know where I live they do community counseling and it's sliding scale down to $5. I really wish that was more places
Those community counseling programs tend to be absolutely overwhelmed and have very long wait times.
