It’s the sixth day of Mental Health Month, and while you should be enjoying the last day of the weekend, you may actually be worrying about prescription drug costs.
Prescription medications can be expensive without adequate health insurance, and let’s face it – health care in America isn’t exactly affordable unless you have a job with excellent medical benefits.
To add salt to the wound, many people with mental health conditions aren’t able to work full-time, or any time, which knocks out their chances of employer-sponsored group health insurance.

Check these organizations out, and also contact your state’s department of insurance for information about assistance with presctiption medication.
And, if you know of any other sources of help, let us know!
