Our family's journey to raise awareness of Mood Disorders in children and psychiatric service dogs by sharing our daughter Faith's story.

Monday 9 April....
Today Renae and I met with a gentleman to do an assessment on Faith since she is seeing a new psychiatrist. More paperwork and telling our story again. I really should just write it down and mail it to the office each time we start at a new one. He really asked a lot of great questions which of course we answered. He agreed, just as we have wanted that Faith needs therapists to help her get through this severe anxiety she has. He is the first person to agree at least in part that Faith suffers from some sort of PTSD from the traumatic episodes she had at the school when she was ripped out of Renae's arms. Problem is we cannot find the help she needs. It is not out there. There is no place where we can get her intense outpatient therapy (IOT). Tricare does not cover it for kids. The best insurance in the world and we cannot get coverage for my daughter. Unbelievable!!!! We know what will work to help get her better and we cannot get it. This is when it gets me so angry. I am going to start getting Faith to write on the Blog to help us keep track of mood swings and other things. Kris

Would it be covered under insurance offered by the state. I know in Maine children with disabilities can get Mainecare/Medicare under the Katie Beckett program which provides coverage in addition to private insurance. It is based on the child's income not the parents income. It may be something to look into. I have been trying to get home based counseling services that is not covered by any private insurance but is by Mainecare????
