A Crown Heights family is asking the community for help after a family member recently underwent a severe mental health episode. This life-threatening crisis required immediate action, and will necessitate many long months of expensive hospitalization, treatment and therapy—none of which is covered by insurance.
As Chassidim, we understand well that what affects the mind affects the rest of the body, and we are standing with the family during this crisis. Please click here to donate to the campaign to
support the family.

Most insurance today do cover mental hospital stays. Medicaid covers as long as is needed.. the main problem I’m assuming is that they can’t find thr right medication? Sometimes (not always) shock therapy can help too.. it’s like re-setting the brain.
It kills brain cells.

The effectiveness of EKG in treating intractable depression is established. Elderly patients who are on multiple medications for other health problems and for whom another pharmaceutical might be contra indicated due to drug interactions, are sometimes treated for depression with EKG, with good – if temporary – results.
ECT – electroconvulsive therapy. Not EKG.
It’s time to open the discussion to plant medicine/psychedelics. Without getting into a lengthy debate publicly, this is the one modality that i have encountered to be a paradigm shift for those who struggle. All are welcome to reach out to me to discuss.
don’t do that ever. Don’t ever let a jew do that. They’re dangerous and even more dangerous for people with schizophrenia and anxiety. They also induce psychosis. They have ruined lives.
How do I get hold of you
