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!

What happens (UK) when someone seeks help for all of these mental health issues (all the same person, not for each!) -

Depression
Self-harm
Severe Mood Swings
Paranoia
Anorexia
Severe Stress
Panic Attacks
and possibly more problems that have not been noticed yet!

How does the partner with mental health problems act towards the other partner?
Does the mentally ill partner blame and feel as though it is the other partner who is ill?
Have you or are you in a relationship with a partner with mental health problems? Also what is it like (negative and positive examples)?
How do you cope when the partner with mental health problems rejects you and refuses help?

I have mental health problems and I have to deal with people judging me without getting to know me. I don’t think it’s fair that people treat others so badly. It hurts my feellings.

I know the health websites all say that mental health problems lead to physical health problems and generally make people feel bad, but I wanted to see what people’s actual experiences were.
