Question by Alex: What do I put for getting a weapons carry permit?
I haven’t applied for one yet because I’m worried I might get denied because when I plead to “and successfully completed” the FOA, part of the stipulations was for me to also see a physiatrist. So does that mean to mark yes under

“Have you ever been ordered to receive inpatient or outpatient treatment at any treatment facility, mental health center, hospital, sanitarium, clinic or program for a mental condition”

Technically I was never ordered to a “facility” it just said “Defendant to have mental health evaluation by a Psychiatrist & complete recommended treatment”.

Question by robvin: What are some alternatives to therapy and anti-anxiety drugs?
I’m 23 and suffer from social anxiety and depression. I’ve seen 4 completely different psychiatrists and have been on medication since I was 16. I stopped taking my medication a year ago, it made me too numb, and now everything seems upside down. I feel uncomfortable talking about my feelings to anyone. I don’t know any other options. What else can I do?

Question by ZZZ: Does bluecross blueshield cover relationship counseling?
I’m sure itis a percentage like 60% or 80%. Also depending on if it is a network provider or not. Anyone know? This is for “couples counseling” or “relationship counseling”. It would be under an induvidual insurance plan, not under an employers plan also (FYI).

Thanks

Answer by troglocat
My guess would be no.
Call BCBS and ask them. It would be under Mental Health coverage, which varies greatly depending on the plan you have. Call the number on the back of your card and ask them.
If it is not covered, you may be able to find low or no-cost counseling through a local non-profit group. Check google or your local yellow/white pages.
