Hey,
I come from 'rinky dink middle class' and am proud of it :) The difference for me is self-education. With the internet, and a willing brain almost any individual can arm themselves with the knowledge needed to help improve the accuracy of their diagnosis and outcome.
In my location, no income = free medications anyway. However, I have to pay cash because I do make some money.
However, I have seen free medications as a mixed blessing myself. I actually improved after I lost coverage under my parents. Because of the costs, I had to really think hard about which medications I really needed, and which effects could be replicated with alternatives.
Currently, I can get by with generic Effexor and lithium.
