Overview of Mental Health Resources in Springfield, Illinois

Springfield, Illinois has an estimated population of 117,006 residents which makes it the sixth-most populous city in the state. The capital city is located in central Illinois and also serves as the county seat of Sangamon County. Springfield houses the three branches of the Illinois government and unsurprisingly, many of the jobs in this area are related to state government. The State of Illinois is the largest employer in the city. With this close association and influence on state-wide public policy, Springfield has an important role to play in issues concerning mental health for the residents of the state. The state of Illinois has been ranked 15th in the country in terms of its ability to handle its residents’ mental health needs but this number could be improved.

Mental Health Resources Needed

It has been estimated that about 363,000 adults within the state of Illinois aged 18 or older have had a serious mental illness within the past year. That is approximately 3.7% of the adult population. Included under the title of serious mental health conditions are schizophrenia, major depression, and bipolar disorder.

Being able to treat those in need of assistance is the most effective way to get in front of the mental health crisis that is occurring across the country. Getting the right treatment and preventing these conditions from worsening should be the priority.

If you believe that you are suffering from feelings of depression, stress, or some other condition that is affecting your ability to live a normal life, it may be time for you to seek help. We want to help make the process of finding a Springfield mental health professional or therapist as easy as possible for you. We’ll help you find someone who understands your circumstances and can work around your schedule.

Asking for additional support is not easy for everyone, but when you are ready to take that step of finding the right therapist in the Springfield area, we want to provide you with the tools you need to make informed decisions. We suggest that before you begin your search for a mental health professional, it is a good idea to take a moment and consider what your unique needs are in terms of treatment and care.

Where to Begin Your Search

When you first begin your search there are some key questions you can ask yourself to help with your search. If you take the time to clarify what you need, it will ultimately help you narrow down the choices available to you. Being able to identify your objective and the conditions you are dealing with will help you to communicate with the mental health professional you ultimately decide to work with. Here are some of the questions you might want to start with:

  • What difficulties are you experiencing?
  • Why do you feel like now is the right time to begin treatment?
  • What ways have you previously sought to deal with your condition?
  • What do you hope to get out of therapy?
  • Are you more comfortable speaking with a male or a female about your problems?
  • What time do you have available to dedicate to therapy?
  • Do you need the help of a mental health professional who specializes in your condition (such as an eating disorder or addiction)?

If you can answer these questions for yourself, you’ll be able to communicate what you need throughout the process. This will give you the best chance of finding someone who is the right fit and help you through the healing process.

Health Insurance Considerations

It is a good idea to consider whether your health insurance will cover any or all the sessions or treatments you might require. Cost is often a limiting factor for people when it comes to access to care. Your insurance company may have a network of mental health professionals that they prefer you visit. This could be a substantial saving to you, so be sure to get in touch with your provider to find out if they offer any such programs.
