Any words of advice or comfort for the husband of a Bipolar Disorder (Manic Depression) sufferer? Can you have auditory hallucinations with Bipolar 1 Disorder?
Dec 02

I want to see a psychiatric and therapist but I was told that I have to wait at the end of Nov to see a therapist and at the end of Dec. to see a psychiatric.Additionally, from others, we no more accepting patients Currently, I am not on medication because I need an advocate to verify information for me to continue taking med at low cost. I am graduate so I no longer receive health care insurance from the school.

Right now, I don’t have insurance. I need to be on my med and may want to add more. I live in Central Jersey.

What should I do?

I can’t help you find a psychiatrist directly, but here is a website for the Dept. of Children and Families of NJ. I go to the one in Florida and they have many resources to help. The therapy is free of charge, as it is a public service.

Perhaps they can guide you to a shrink that will get you taken care of quickly. Alternatively, you could check out the Wal-Mart or CVS Minute Clinics. They have walk-in service and you might be able to get a temporary Rx until you can get a “real doctor” to see you. It might be able to hold you over. Best wishes!
