seeking affordable pyschiatric treatment for a son who suffer from depression
and mood swings. Very hyper. Needs medication to slow his system down
I don't know the cost or any resources, but I highly recommend Dr. Zohra Choudry in Ft. Worth.
Have you looked at Child's Study Center in Fort Worth? I am not sure of the prices but I do know that they handle situations as you have just described?? Maybe they will help
I know you can contact MHMR, they do psychiatric treatment for children and adults at a sliding scale. You might also try the Child Study Center in Fort Worth. Good luck and God bless!!
RUD Counseling in Arlington off of Medlin Drive works off a sliding scale of your income.
J.,
I'm glad that you are seeking care for your son. So many parents think their children cannot suffer with depression, but this is far from the truth...no matter the age. My son suffered with this for several years and fortunately was treated and is doing quite well.
To reduce the cost I would recommend checking into AmeriPlan. AmeriPlan is a discount health company that can help you get care for you son at a fraction of the usual cost. Membership is only $39.95/mo for your entire household, which covers discounts of up to 80% off the usual fee, including mental health care, as well as dental, vision, prescription drugs, chiropractic care, doctor visits, 24 hour nurse line, hospital advocacy. labs, x-rays and more. You can get more information, see who the providers are, and even sign up on line if you want to at www.DNShealth.net. I would be happy to answer any questions you may have about it. Best wishes ~ N.
