Big hospital near me removed the only mental health floor in theicounty this year. Mental healthcare just isn't profitable. The big hospital in my county has a 6 month waiting list to see someone.

The private practice guys don't take most insurance.

Can confirm about private practice. My insurers mental health website was severely out of date so I had to spend hours upon hours on hold with every private practice in a 20 mile radius to find one that took my insurance. Still ended up on a 3 months long wait-list before I was finally seen.
