Are there any kind of financial support programs for people with depression?
I feel like I'm stuck in this trap where I am not healthy enough to endure full time employment, but I don't have enough income to pay for treatment.
I expect there might be government services available, but I'm dubious of their efficacy.
What I'd love is some sort of grant program where the goal is to help intelligent semi-effective people improve themselves by healing their depression.
- rancar2 5y agoThere are programs, non-profits, and alternative treatments depending on the country/region/state/city. If you are able to send US text messages for free to/from the US, you can use X2AI’s chatbot for free by texting “YC” to (650) 825-9634. It will at least get you access to CBT coaching, which has shown to help. Medication (once one finds the right one for themselves) helps many, but here is a good TED talk on approaches without medication: https://youtu.be/drv3BP0Fdi8 https://youtu.be/drv3BP0Fdi8 Disclosure: I know the founder.
