mental health

I have a friend who is unemployed and too old to be covered by her parents. I would like her to get some medical care for her mental health (we believe she has bipolar disorder), but I’m not sure how she could get help because she cannot afford it. Are there free public institutions that will help her out? She is currently living in Massachusetts.

Any information (especially about whether something like Medicare covers this), links, etc. would be very helpful. Thanks in advance!

Has anybody or anyone you know gone to India for medical treatments?

Saw it on “60 Minutes” that medical care in India is comparable to care here in the States, also it is much less expensve than overe here. Thinking of going over to get some dental work done and see India, but really not sure about doing Lasik surgery. Anybody that knows anything will be appreciated.
Here is a website that offers overseas treatments.

Could todays advances in surgery and medical knowledge / hospital care be good enough to provide the treatment to save his life after the shots?
