Re: totallyADD.com Crew………..We need to know CANADA or UNITED STATES

I don’t know about the United States but here in Canada, Mental Health is a Provincial Matter. So every province handles it differently. So the links page would be endless and would have to have a search option just for them. The web allows you to conduct searches a lot easier because it is indexed and although you may find a lot of irrelevant information it will help you drill down to what you are looking for.

Mental health in my province alone has dozens of regions all offering different options depending on where you live. Although we now have 1 official health board they still divide the province into different health regions that are manned mainly by doctors and nurses working in tandem with volunteers to look after the “clients”. Depending on income level, education level, severity of symptoms and a whole range of other sorting criteria you will find the options available to you. I live in a city of over 1 million people that only has a satellite ADHD Adult clinic from the sister city 4 hours away. There are no phone numbers just an email address where you can send your concerns. For instance if you have a mental illness paired with drug and alcohol problems the sister city has a concurrent disorders clinic that will treat both problems at the same time. So does the Provincial Mental Hospital but nothing in the North or extreme South of the Province. Today the Premier of the Province announced in his Throne Speech that there will be more options for Mental Health. No specifics and they have been promising this for 15 years.
