Is there any free resources for mental health or mood disorders?
8/23/2016 at 2:14 AM

I dont have a dr.here so cant get a referral anywhere. Ive been doing fine until lately, my depression and anxiety have almost taken over my life, i have nobody to talk to or get advice from and am almost ready to give up. I cant afford to pay for any sort of counselling or programs, i dont know what options if any are out there but hopefully someone does.

You don't need to have a family doctor

a walk-in Doctor can refer you too. Just make sure to provide honest background information, personal or family history (if you are aware). If you have had a previous family doctor you can fill out the required paperwork to release your previous medical history.

Mental health is as important as physical health and you can also go to walk-in for help.

Here is a link for Prairie Mountain Health (community mental health is in the town center if you need to drop in).
