I would assume that it would be paid for with insurance. but no, I mean that it's a state law.

So a person under the age of 18 cannot receive any medication prescribed by a doctor without parental approval? That's nuts! How long till you turn 18?

I think where the problem comes in is when they try to give or suggest treatment for me, (rather that be medication or therapy as some of the comments said) which is where parental approval is needed. thank you for your suggestions. Okay, have the doc write a prescription and have a parent sign off on it. Also, if you are attending college, your tuition covers mental health counseling on campus. Either you want to pursue treatment or not. If so, do what it takes to get it done.
