I am going to a psychologist for a psychological assessment so they can diagnose me. It costs $155 per session and is estimated to take 10-15 sessions. I can't afford this; I'll have to add to my student debt. My insurance will only cover $50 per session for counselling - I'm not sure if they will even cover psychological assessment since I'm not sure if it's considered "counselling". 

Did anybody get assistance with this? How did you get diagnosed? Is there a cheaper way, like going to a hospital?

If anyone lives in Canada, do you know of any financial assistance with this? 

Thanks in advance.
