Hi everybody. My 16 year old daughter was diagnosed with ADD, depression and anxiety approx 2-3 years ago. She also self harms. She was prescribed medication and attended a number of sessions with a Psychiatrist . She gave treatment a go for a short time but then refused all help.  Things seemed to have been going "better" for a while but now, entering Year 11, she has actually reached out and asked for help - which is fantastic.  Got a referral to a Psychiatrist but on attempting to book the appointment, was advised that it was going to cost just under $900 for the first session and then $195 each session thereafter charged on an hourly basis.  As  single parent on low income, there is no way I can come up with that kind of money. Even if you receive some back on Medicare, I don't even have it up front to begin with.  Sorry for the long story, basically I am looking for advice on where I can turn to get help for my daughter. Have approached the GP who referred us but now 2 weeks on, still haven't received a reply.  Don't know what/where or who to turn to to get the help she needs. Any advice is appreciated. Sorry again for the long story. ... View more
