My daughter -- who has been diagnosed with several treatable mental illnesses -- was attending an out-of-state all girls Theraputic Boarding School for both therapeutic and safety reasons. After theatening suicide & ending up in the hospital she was sent to a long-term Residential Treatment Ctr (also out-of-state). Are group therapy costs (time with licensed therapists) that are not covered by insurance, tax deductible? Also, is transportation for a parent to go visit her every couple of months tax deductible (the institution -- run by clinical psychologists and psychiatrists -- highly recommended parents come visit as much as possible)?
