Unfortunately I have to agree with Dana regarding mental health care being the Cinderella of most health care systems. From personal experience as both a provider and a seeker of care for family members, my perspective is that it's a mess in both the US and the Canadian (single payer government guaranteed health insurance - not necessarily care) systems. It can be very difficult to access here in the US, but I've found it infinitely more difficult, nearly impossible, in the Canadian system. A single-payer nationalized system isn't a guarantee of access, not at all. Even GPs are almost impossible to get registered with, in Ontario.

I hope, with Clod, that you'll consider the role diet plays in your health (whenever you feel able), and I wish you success in filing your forms and getting reinstated with Tricare. I'm not sure I understood one phrase in your post - do you mean that if you don't get reinstated with Tricare, your parental financial support will somehow stop? Hopefully I misread that.
