What to do if you need help

We talk on the show about depression and other mental illnesses that damage your health, life, and your writing quality and productivity. I encourage everyone to get help if you think you need it, but I am painfully aware that I’m very lucky that I have health insurance that pays for my doctor and my antidepressants. What do you do if you don’t have that?

Lifehacker recently had a list of how to find someone to talk to when you can’t afford a therapist, and I thought it was so useful that I wanted to guide people there. Please, if you need help, it’s there if you can look for it.
