If your current doctor believes that your depression is severe, he could have you committed to a psych facility against your will.....that bypasses the copays for now.

It's difficult to even guess at the specifics, because we don't know the specifics of your case.

Lit Love has provided a lot of advice in this and your other threads about trying to access services and help. I hope that you can find some help.
