I get kicked off of dad's insurance in April.

I'm not taking classes, so I don't qualify for student insurance.

I could get short-term (6 mo.) insurance until fall, but all of those I've found don't cover mental health costs.

Blah.

Well, a lot of it is wait until April (8) and see what I'm needing then. It's possible that these metabolic tests show up as some kind of scarily insane thyroid deficiency, I take medicine for that (which wouldn't count as mental health medication), and it clears up many problems including my depression. Then, in April, I wouldn't need medical insurance that requires mental health coverage (assuming by then I don't need counselling either) and I could get a short-term plan until the fall when I go back to school. If I'm still taking Zoloft then, my primary care doctor could prescribe it instead of Dr. McNeil, and while that would still be an expensive medication because I wouldn't get help paying for it, I wouldn't have expensive appointments to see Dr. McNeil or anyone else for therapy.

So yeah, wait and see.
