A troubled friend needs help

[necturus]

Do any of you know a psychiatrist in Massachusetts who takes MassHealth? I have a friend who is having trouble getting help through the usual channels.

Massachusetts does a poor job of looking out for the mental health of people who don't have infinite money.

Has your friend tried Fenway Community Health? I had a great psychiatrist there, though I haven't dealt with him in several years (I don't know if he's taking new patients). He was a psychopharmacologist with a great understanding of complicated medical conditions. A friend of mine spoke well of a therapist she saw there, not a psychiatrist.

I will pass that along. Thank you for the suggestion.
