seeking links to material on how to get psychiatric help in the US 

A friend of ours is uninsured in the US and seeking psychiatric help for stress and ADHD, does anyone have any advice or resources on how to get help that I can show them?

Since someone said it depends on where they are, the aforementioned friend is located in North Carolina

@Felthry NC is a bit of a mess to get healthcare in at all- definitely check out Medicaid because when we lived there anyone who was anyone wanted a referral from a PCP to get anywhere.

This also seems to depend on the region of NC- Asheville and the mountain area seemed to have a better time with all doctors vs the Piedmont triad region where you had to sell your soul to even get a dermatology appt.

We lived there for three years and literally commuted to Virginia for our healthcare. :/
