Heather,

 

Do you qualify for Medicaid through the state? If you don't know, call hte offices of the Dept. of Health and Human Services. They can tell you. If you qualify, they can set up an appointment with a case manager to get you started. Medicaid would cover tretment for depression.

 

If you don't qualify for Medicaid, check with your local health department. They would know about the resources in your area.

 

Good luck,

Teri
