I want to say America is fucked. But in Canada, the waiting list for a practice is months if not years, and most insurances don't cover a lot of psychotherapy. Universal healthcare does not cover mental health, dental health, or eye health here.

What is Neurodivergence?
It's ADHD, Autism, OCD, schizophrenia, anxiety, depression, bi-polar, aspd, etc etc etc etc
“neurologically atypical patterns of thought or behavior”
So, it’s very broad, if you feel like it describes you then it does as far as we're concerned
Rules
1.) ableist language=post or comment will probably get removed (enforced case by case, some comments will be removed and restored due to complex situations). repeated use of ableist language=banned from comm and possibly site depending on severity. properly tagged posts with CW can use them for the purposes of discussing them
2.) always assume good faith when dealing with a fellow nd comrade especially due to lack of social awareness being a common symptom of neurodivergence
2.5) right to disengage is rigidly enforced. violations will get you purged from the comm. see rule 3 for explanation on appeals
3.) no talking over nd comrades about things you haven't personally experienced as a neurotypical chapo, you will be purged. If you're ND it is absolutely fine to give your own perspective if it conflicts with another's, but do so with empathy and the intention to learn about each other, not prove who's experience is valid. Appeal process is like appealing in user union but you dm the nd comrade you talked over with your appeal (so make it a good one) and then dm the mods with screenshot proof that you resolved it. fake screenies will get you banned from the site, we will confirm with the comrade you dm'd.
3.5) everyone has their own lived experiences, and to invalidate them is to post cringe. comments will be removed on a case by case basis depending on determined level of awareness and faith
4.) Interest Policing will not be tolerated in any form. Support your comrades in their joy!

Sorry this is happening.
Depending on your situation you may be able to get prescriptions for meds from one of the online script mills that are popping up. I can't offer specific recommendations and obviously this is far from ideal but I used one to get an antidepressant prescription without having insurance. Cost me like $80 for the "consult" which happened entirely over chat.
This only helps with getting prescriptions. It unfortunately doesn't do much as far as med costs or therapy needs.
Yeah I'll see if there's anything like that that will accept Medicaid. Thanks.
Honestly for antidepressants, the cheaper route may be just getting them on the deep-dark-under-net from countries like India. Probably depends on the antidepressant though.
