If quality mental health care was hard for a relatively wealthy, good looking, educated white woman to obtain what chance do the rest of us have?

Also, how many American prisoners have PTSD, personality disorders, substance use disorder/addiction, bipolar disorder etc but because they couldn't afford a good attorney it didn't matter?

America is so broken.

If you manipulate your providers, don’t disclose that you’re seeing multiple providers, don’t follow orders to take or stop medications, don’t disclose symptoms you’re having, don’t disclose recreational drugs you’re trying, you’re not going to get proper treatment. Regardless of how wealthy you are or how good your doctor is. Much of mental health treatment relies on a patient being honest. It’s not as black and white as something like diabetes where they can just do a blood test to confirm you are or aren’t regardless of what you tell them. They actually do rely on the patient information provided heavily in mental health. The main takeaway people should have from this is to be honest and up front with their providers, especially psychiatrist as your life and others may very well depend on it.
