Mental Health/ Adolescent Inpatient/ I Feel Crazy?

Question by yeah: Mental Health/ Adolescent inpatient/ I feel crazy?
So, I asked this question before, and I got emails saying I got answers, but the answers didn’t show up? So, let me try a second time.

Hello…
My name is Martha. I’m 15 years old. I live in in Miami, I have severe social anxiety, and Panic disorder. It has gotten so bad to the point that I’m afraid to leave my house, I easily become anxious over everything, and I’m driving MYSELF insane with my negative thoughts. I’m depressed, not motivated, had to start online school this year because of how much panic attacks I got last year, and my lack of concentration. Everything is just getting worse by the minute.

My medical insurance, SUCKS. I’m crazy and I’m poor as hell? Uh, not good combination. I have medicaid. It’s not accepted by most “phsycosocial rehabilitation centers” here in miami. Which Is where I want to turn myself into, somewhere to stay, somewhere where I can get better. Not only that but most phsycosocial rehabilitation centers only offer help to adults. Isn’t that cool. I have EXHAUSTED myself trying to find Inpatient centers, treatment centers, phsycosocial rehabilitation centers, that help adolescents. I have found a couple. They look like they suck though.

So, here’s my question. When people turn themselves in to a mental hospital, treatment center, wherever, for a mental illness, do they actually feel better afterwards? Do people in the treatment centers help them face their fear? I mean, my mental disorder is SOCIAL ANXIETY. Do they acknowledge that, and help me face it to live independently? Do studies show that Mental health centers really do help the mentally ill?

Thank you for taking your time to read this ridiculously long passage. I’m desperate, I need help, and if you live in miami, and know anywhere where I can go, that would be great too. Please help me.

Your not alone. And your not crazy. You said it. You are in a state of nervous EXHAUSTION that comes with a nervous illness and it is very bewildering. That is why you are looking all over for answers.
Dr. Claire Weeks ..is perhaps at your local library, a helpful little book Self-Help for Your Nerves. She became a scientist while having an anxiety disorder.
Good little book to help you to understand. And this is the beginning of practicing how to cope.

Whether or not you get help depends on if the type of therapy has good results for , in yoour situation, social anxiety or not. Each place may use different approaches, so it is someting a person has to research BEFORE they go anywhere. You have to find all that out AND what exactly they mean by ‘success’ or their results. MOST of these treatments teach a person how to ‘manage their symptoms’ and don’t actually heal anything. It takes a long time of therapy to do that, using those methods.
Most places are only interested in helping a person live independently, yes.
It depends on who does the studies and what the criteria is on mental health results.
It is commonly stated that medications and talking therapy help people manage their symptoms. Neither is totally true. Medications are placebos, look that up, and recently doctors like doctor oz, and others for a long time have stated that, including, mercola.com, drhyman, even amenclinics.com
So, I think that the centers are very expensive 20,000$ plus, and have little to offer in terms of true healing. They may give some insight to someIDK.
Social anxiety should be first properly tested for, and several other things need to be tested, including hormone balances, nutrients , environment, socila history, etc.
The place you go to will be very important in the outcome , whether you heal, or just suffer and pay for years and years , taking worthless meds.
I would say find a way to go to a diagnositic center, like this amenclinics.com and they may be able to let you know a referral for medicaid, but unlikely. You may make payments if you qualify.
He does SPECT scans and has success treating some things.
Otherwise, I would say if just healing you want, then go use this method and work something out with someone to help you as you need it, since iti is the only method known to resolve, and help heal this condition and many others, it ddoesn’t take a long time and once gone , doesn’t come back.
Just write to the ones you like and ask them questions. They may know someone in training that will work with you for free. eftmasters.com, put ‘social anxiety ‘ into the search bar here, eftuniverse.com, emofree.com
best wishes with your choices and resolution/healing
