Does the Government Assist/subsidize Programs, Medication, Housing for Bipolar Disorder? (In Chicago)?

Question by theidiotsdonttellyouwhy: Does the government assist/subsidize programs, medication, housing for bipolar disorder? (in Chicago)?
I am in Chicago, in my 20s, unable to work because of the bad economy though I have a degree. So I can’t afford my bipolar medication. This has led me to relapse. I also don’t have a place to live. Is there a program out there that has free/reduced medication, therapy, housing? Anyone? Any help is appreciated.

Is There a Link Between Overprotective Parents and Substance Abuse?

Question by M.: Is there a link between overprotective parents and substance abuse?
Overprotective parents try and monitor all aspects of their children’s lives. But that’s not possible.

It would make sense that teenagers with overprotective parents would try to rebel when their parents aren’t around. A way of rebelling would be taking drugs and smoking and drinking.

Are there any statistics, reports, or studies anywhere that would suggest a link between overprotective parents and substance abuse? Thanks!
