Is it standard for health insurance policies to not cover any mental health services or medications?

My boyfriend has depression and used to be on Zoloft. I feel he should be on it again however his health insurance plan does not cover mental health services. It seems to be a good plan, what it does cover it covers very well, so I'm surprised it will not cover this. Is this typical?
--------------------
No its not-most reputable insurance plans cover mental health and prescriptions -sounds like he has a supplemental insurance plan and not Major Medical which he needs to have-unfortunately even if he changes this is a preexisting condition and more than likely will have a waiting period to cover it. He can get prescription card now-search under prescription help and similar topics and can get one for approx 90 some dollars a year or even less . His family doctor can prescribe Zoloft-any MD can.Tell him to go for family doctor will understand his situation if he doesn't any MD will/can prescribe and then shop for lowest price like at Costco. Hope I helped.
