My personal experiences highlight the severity of this issue. I have battled mental health conditions, including anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, and addiction all on my own because I could not afford proper treatment. This has affected my day-to-day activities. Growing up, I faced numerous traumatic experiences that have left emotional scars and unresolved issues. These traumas are like tangled knots that need to be carefully unraveled and addressed. However, the challenge lies in the fact that there is no affordable therapy available to provide guidance and support in working through these deeply rooted issues. I am required to pay $200 for the medication I need to manage my mental health condition. Unfortunately, due to financial constraints, there are times when I cannot afford to purchase it for several months. This situation leaves me in a state of turmoil and emotional distress, all because I cannot consistently afford the medication throughout the year.
