Like, if its nots public health system its obviusly price-gated for obvious reasons (it can be a commodity or boutique diagnosis for the rich and connected to get their sweet-sweet pharma speed)

I take arguably the sweetest or 2nd sweetest of that sweet-sweet pharma speed on prescription so lets not get into the the whole speed semantics for those of us otherwise inclinced

Edit: some advice- skip your first appointment on accident. It seems counterintutitive but its actually completely intuitive and expected for an actual ADHD person. If I was a psychiatrist I woupd almpst expect or come to expect people who end up diagnosed to do that haha

    I think honestly for diagnosis/evaluative purposes, it really helps to miss the first appointment or the first appointment scheduling is further delayed in time from the first formal medical referral 'specially if its with a fancy psychiatrist.

    It makes it all the more plausible but obviously it can be an expen$ive ostensuble blunder. Having said that, i think its fair to help dispell or weaken the heavy unspoken presumption/elephant in the room that you just want Ritalin/Adderall like the rest of the Kool Kidz. People need all the help they can get
