I filled my prescription for another 3.5 months of anti-depressants today. I forget everytime how expensive they are. It really makes me wonder how people without extended health benefits do it. I only pay a small part of the cost and that seems like a lot to me. Don't get me wrong, the benefit of them os more than worth the cost. But still, it seems that it must be really hard for some people to get the help they need because they can't afford it.
So, there is a lot of talk this week (mental health week) about eliminating the stigma around mental illness. This is good. I this k another big issue we, as a society, need to address is accessibility to treatment for those who can't afford to pay.
