I am transitioning to Medicare. How do I find a mental health professional? I have relapsed, and I am having a lot of anxiety about starting a new treatment and what side effects I will have to endure.

Finding a mental health professional who accepts Medicare can feel overwhelming, especially when dealing with anxiety about treatment changes. Medicare Part B typically covers mental health services from licensed professionals like psychiatrists, psychologists, and clinical social workers - contacting Medicare directly at 1-800-MEDICARE or using their online provider directory can help locate covered professionals in your area. Many people in this community understand the challenges of navigating insurance changes while managing mental health concerns, and discussing medication concerns openly with potential providers can help find someone who will work collaboratively on treatment approaches that feel right for you.
