Do you need Health Insurance to see a Psychiatrist?

I don't know much about having insurance, I've never had to get it for myself. I am currently uninsured so not sure how to go about doing this. I am trying to see a psychiatrist for post traumatic stress disorder.

There can be some community health centers that have no charges as well as places like Catholic Charities. Some Ys also have counseling. As stated, a psychiatrist often just does med management so if you wanted to explore the feelings around the trauma (which is very important) then a social worker or psychologist will spend more time with you in this. Some people do not get on medication for PTSD and work it through via counseling. If you are having nightmares, flashbacks and feeling this is interefering with your daily functioning therapy can really help. You can also find a support group locally on many areas that cause ptsd like grief, abuse or war traumas. Meditator Free Health Insurance Comparative Tool http://www.daily-tools.com/health-insura…
