I'm very interested in how much you have to pay for psychotherapy in your country.

In the Netherlands each citizen can get "free"

How much do you have to pay?

I am preparing an Advanced Psychiatric Directive that I got from the Bazelon Center. In it, it asks if I would prefer any alternatives to hospitalization. I didn't know there were any. What are they?

Bear with me I am new at this. I guess what I am seeking is input from people to help me understand how you can give your all (love and time) and be going along fine (at least you think so) and then all of a sudden the one you love just drops you with no answer or reason.

Hey have any of you been listening to Erika Jo. She is the winner of Nashville Star, the country music version of American Idol that airs on USA. I actually never really heard until I got her cd from my friend who works at Universal music. My friend is so lucky she gets free cd's all of the time. The album is really good and I think that Erika Jo is so pretty and talented. ...

Hi, I'm Steph, I'm new here...

I've been dealing with anxiety and panic for years...and my situation gradually improved until recently, but I'm just very frustrated right now and wanted to find some people that can relate...

I had my first full panic attack in years today at work...and I'm so upset because I don't want it to continue, but it's not something I can really control...

Has anyone here been through similar things?
