Depression
Depression care rarely has a single large bill. Instead the money adds up through repeat therapy sessions, medication refills, and follow-up visits, often over a year or more. The biggest cost swings come from whether therapy is in-network, how many medication changes it takes to find one that works, and whether the illness ever reaches a crisis that involves the emergency room or a hospital stay.
