  • If I understand correctly you receive healthcare through your mother who’s healthcare is covered by her employer, and they don’t cover psychiatry, right? Or would you be forced to switch your treating psychiatrist?

    Regardless; if there are financial issues, talk it through with your mother. IIrc she was making calls, trying to get you professional help. It seems to be important to her that you get proper support. And she too will be aware of the issues with healthcare and she is still trying to help you. Be honest with your psychiatrist. You can discuss any worries you have about finances/healthcare with them. They’ll usually know some information that could help you.

    Please be honest with them. I know it can be scary, but you will have a better outcome.






  • I wouldn’t recommend that. Is that the Psychiatrist who is currently treating you and is possibly discussing admitting you to a psych ward? If so, be honest with them and let them know what worries you about being admitted. Maybe they can help you find a new perspective.

    And in case you mean the staff in the psych ward, let them know your boundaries early on. It will improve the quality of your stay. Usually the staff will ask you about your symptoms on the first day, get an overview over your needs and challenges. This would be a good opportunity to mention that.
