My daughter in law has the same problem. Of course you want your kids to have the medical care they need but they wanted to do this alone. I suggested they contact their family doc and get a reference to the mental health clinic (they live in loiusianna) and she did. He got her into the clinin they sees patients according to their ability to pay. Her original appt was over the phone. At least a phone call from a doc is better than nothing at all. They evaluated her according to a mental health questionaire which they would have done on her first visit, and she was then shuttled to the next appt appropriate for her diagnosis. This may sound so clinical, but when you have had post-partum depression for 5 months and no help, it was like a light bulb for her. Iot took her about 6 days to get her first real appt but before that she was in line for all type of help before the appt it necessary. It took a load off both her mind, my mond and my sons mind. She is now seeing a doc, on meds and getting better. All for about $30 a month.
