Sister's connections worked marvel and I was allowed free psychoanalysis therapy for a year or two, once or twice a week at first.
Amazingly, the shrink was excellent. THE only real therapy i ever did that was good or not.
I was also given light meds which I took for the next 8 years.
But I was so unhappy I wanted to change the meds after 7 or 8 years, and nobody wanted to do it with me. I knew ,by then, no doctor. Ensued total downward spiral into real ill and poor on top of it for 4-6 years.
