You cannot put a price on good health, but know that finding and maintaining good quality healthcare will cost money. Your psychiatrist appointments, therapy sessions, and medications all require money. You must be willing to devote the funds necessary to make sure you receive good quality care.
There may be things you need to give up for good
healthcare in exchange for the services and medications
you are receiving. For example, I quit
drinking, which was a huge expense every month when
you add up the costs of all the drinks at home and out to
dinner. I spend less on our mental healthcare
bills combined than I used to spend on alcohol. While
that seems incredible to believe, it is true. Chances are, if you are suffering from Bipolar Disorder,
you are also engaging in some kind of substance abuse.
Giving up the cost of that substance just might cover the
cost of good, high-quality mental healthcare.
Even if it is not substance abuse you need to give up, there are probably other things in your life worth giving up that are just not as important. Money is a factor that you need to account for, and do not sacrifice quality to save a few bucks. Your health is way too important, as it impacts all other aspects of your life.
What are you sacrificing?
