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!

I need to find the aforementioned list. Wikipedia says 3/4 of countries have mental health legislation, but it doesn’t state which countries fall in the 1/4 group.

I have also found a site that lists percentages, but the areas are very generalised, so I would need a more specific list, one that I have so far been unable to find. I don’t need an actual website for reference, in case someone knows these countries by heart. Thanks in advance.
