oh crap oh crap...

in Postpartum Depression

DH has a great job, and I'm thankful for it, but his health insurance SUCKS. I know I should be thankful for anything, but this year everything changed. I saw the psychiatrist once and it wasn't covered , which I didn't know until yesterday when I tried to make another appointment. So, so psych care. I don't know what to do!! We really can't afford to have any extra dr's visits, and we REALLY can't afford the meds that he prescribed that is also uncovered. Damn health insurance. I don't know what to do!! 

I had my doubts about trying to get on meds in the first place, because when I was depressed in college they didn't help much, and now I'm really having my doubts. Any chance I can just ride this out? I'm so discouraged...

    what a beautiful baby! i would check with their office and tell them your situation, and see if they can work with you in some way.

    i found that a support group was really helpful and it was free - ask around or google for one.  psychiatrists are very expensive, would it be cheaper to have your primary care doctor help you out with meds?  you can also try seeing if your DH has a work/life balance benefit.  both our jobs offer 10 free/cheap visits to a therapist per year, it's separate from our health care.

    I agree with seeing a primary care doc and trying to find a medication that your insurance will cover. I hope you can get some help. It sucks to go through those initial steps to try to get help just to face more frustrations and road blocks.
