I know there are a lot of these threads made, but i wanted to

Dont be frightened bro. They arent going to lock you up or anything. Most likely they are going to chit chat with you, have you fill out some questionnaires, have you talk about what your mental health symptoms are (like i get anxious at parties or my depression comes in waves). Once they decide they have a good grasp on what's wrong they'll probably start you off on some meds and a treatment plan. You'll be fine

They'll only lock you up if you're homicidal or suicidal. You get thrown into a looney bin for like 10 days.

All they do is ask you questions then throw pills at you and tell you to come back in a month and then throw more pills at you until you're a mindless drone

You'll be fine, just tell the doctor what's going on. Listen to his assessment but don't take it as the end all be all

Think about it this way, robot. If you already do have something wrong with you, and you don't know what it is, it's still there.
If you do know what it is, maybe you can help fix it, learn to live with it better or make up for it.

Psychologists aren't really anything to be afraid of m8, just be sure to lie about anything related to suicide, doctors have a legal responsibility to report on suicidal urges if they hear about them.

I desperately want to seek mental health help. My insurance doesn't cover it, but my employer gives me $200 a month for medical expenses on an HSA account and I can use that for it.

>bunch of Christian based Dr's I wouldn't bother with
>none accommodate my work schedule or are open on weekendays

It's hard to believe the state of mental healthcare in the US.

Oh, and make sure to go to a psychologist or therapist over a psychiatrist, one will try to talk you through your problems and the other will offer you subscriptions to pills, some of which may fuck up your mental state more than it is.

i know to lie about being suicidal.

>>34226605
im just scared its schizophrenia, it runs in my family a bit and i dont want that label of mental instability, but you have a point

>>34226605
I think you're mistaken. I work in a mental health related field and we only have to report someone being a danger to themselves or danger to others (DTO/DTS) if they report that they have thought out a plan to do so. I believe that you can talk about your urges all you want as long as you don't say how you plan on doing it.

l love all of you robots so much

I know it's based on whether or not they are a danger to themselves, but depending on how this anon phrases it and how the psychologist takes it, it might just be better to avoid the subject altogether. If you fix the problems in the robot's life and possibly mind then he won't have reason to kill himself.

What do they ask schizophrenics?

And we love you too
