What's your general region you live in if I may ask?

And yeah, I've read it. I'm happy it got better for you. (not saying that sarcastically, I just have trouble with tone over text) How hard was the process for you to get it diagnosed?



The default city, but the process was that I paid out of pocket for psychological diagnosis and then used that to talk with psychiatrist. It seems to be the "easiest" route to be taken seriously, rather than drug-seeker.

And other comments - you NEED to look for people who specialize in ADHD specifically, both on psychologist and psychiatrist side. I got SNRI only because the doc said "it's used as last resort for ADHD, perhaps it will help you" - no, it does shit nothing for ADHD in my case. But it did help with many other things so I'm still grateful for that.

Also, keep in mind that non-stimulants also do work, but they don't work _immediately_ and that requires actual regime to make know whether they work on you.


Gotcha, thanks. (tbh I don't know anyone on NFZ anyway, if I wanted to meet a psychologist, I'd wait close to 300 days and I'm in one of major cities.)
