Looking for mental healthcare I recently realized I might be dealing with mental health problems. I have no idea who to talk to about this. I think there's a good possibility that I will need medication, possibly antipsychotics. I'm looking for advice from someone in the area who knows the not only the process I need to take (who to call, what type of doctor I should consult etc.) but I'm also looking for recommendations for good doctors. I live in the city, but I'm not opposed to going anywhere in the area for the right treatment. I tried calling my insurance but it was extremely frustrating and I was unable to talk to a person.
Thank you in advance!

You could try calling BJC Behavioral Health services at 314-747-7491. They should be able to route you to an appropriate level of care and verify if their doctor takes your insurance. If you feel that you will physically hurt/harm yourself or others, call 911.
