Unaffordable OCD care
Hi. It sucks to not be able to afford the proper care you need. Anyone else relate? Argh.

@Amaura Poetry 💯😂
@Amaura Mental health providers absolutely do deserve to make a very good living, but the privatization of health care is the big problem. Our well-bring should not be an unattainable business model. I have a friend who is essentially having a nervous breakdown because of a $3000 deductible that she doesn’t have.
@Amaura It’s true. I live in an area where there is a high level of homelessness. Everyone is throwing their hands up saying “It’s so hard. What do we do?” Truly, national health and mental health care would help reduce the homeless epidemic exponentially.
Where are you from? I'm from Greece, here the bare minimum for a therapist is 50€, not that it's easy to pay that amount of money because of the daily life costs etc but still, $1000? I guess the job payments are different where you live.
Not a justification obviously; but on the other side thanks to the progress; we have a lot of free or really low cost possibility that can help us. I really improved with managing my ocd symptoms with thoose sources. I can share with you some tips to find them if you want! Let me know!✨
@Saraa The correct name for videos is called Anxiety & OCD Treatment on Youtube
Nothing is for free though, however there should be a cap on medical expenses. Also, there is an increase of people wanting therapy. Which is good and annoying at the same time time. I got a text from nocd saying the increase of people they are getting 😬
@Anna,hi! It’s not really annoying. I got that text too. We all just have to consider each other and that we are fortunate to have these slots.
Really really unfair. Health should not be "only for rich people". Expecially with mental health. I agree with you 100%. Plus a lot of doctors just denial your sintoms so you have to try change and keep trying to find a good professionist. Really unfair that we have to pay even for that.
I watch videos from John Glanvill. ocd and anxiety disorder. He really makes sense of ocd disorder and he breaks it down on series . He also offers monthly program of resources for 6 a month and on patreon for 156 month but it’s all filled up because you get to have consultation with him
So sorry. Since you don’t have the option of a therapist one site I was on today had a great list of OCD books - hope4ocd.com/books.php. There is a place on Los Angeles, Ca(USA) that offers residents low or possibly low cost OCD care - it’s called Renewed Freedom. Free online stuff that helps me: Shala Nicely blogs on her website, The Noise in Your Head YouTube videos. Good luck.🙏❤️
Yes!! So NOT right and unfair. I wish it wasn't this way but nothing has changed for us ....🤦😢😢 very wrong how they dismiss those with mental illness ...especially OCD...sooo wrong!
@Stefanie280 I’m with you I have to pay out $800 before my insurance kicks in which I don’t have cause rent so high here in Cali
@Shayray60 Yes soo true, what part Cali you in? Im in OC ..
