My country doesn’t have that. I do see a psychiatrist, social worker, and therapist though.

I have a mental health team that I see multiple times a week.
I talk with my social worker once a week and my pdoc every two months. S nurse comes to my house to give me my injection of invega hafyera every six months.
I volunteered to leave the mental health team, they always made me feel worse. Now I just see a regular doc occasionally and I have a support worker who takes me grocery shopping, she’s really nice. I’m moving to a quiet town though, so I won’t have a support worker where I’m moving to

Spent about 16 years on a section,
The hardest thing I found in the system is the day to day poverty and it’s hardships.
My quote I made up
I had never met evil but however I did meet poverty

I don’t know what program I was on but got care after being released from the hospital. I would get sample packs of medication and somehow saw a doctor. I don’t know who was paying for it. About a a half a year later I got on ssi and that covered medication and doctor visits and got a monthly check. I’ve always gone to a clinic. I have a mental health team that consists of a prescriber, therapist, and a co care coordinator. I also go to their day program from time to time.
