      Was in a deep depression. I have good Healthcare and tried to make an appt with a psychiatrist to take care of it.

      6 month waiting list… I thought US Healthcare was supposed to be better than this?

      Still cost me $300 when I finally got in too since it’s a specialist… Fml

      It’s also a nightmare in much of the US if you are not rich or happen to have excellent insurance. Having to wait six months to receive a bill you can’t afford isn’t great.

        Agreed. I’m just pointing out that it’s not lack of access to mental health services that’s preventing gun deaths in the UK, it’s lack of access to guns.
