spoke to one psychiatrist who told me I had it and gave me meds, foolishly spoke to another psychiatrist about changing my ritalin back to vyvanse bc ritalin was hurting my stomach, and he decided (during a 15 min appointment) that I actually Didn't have it, and now I need to see someone who specializes in ADHD (or, I've been advised to by my therapist). those places get to charge whatever they want, because late stage capitalism is a disease. I'm afraid to keep pestering regular psychiatrists, because if I get labeled as a "drug seeker" it'll be even harder for me.
extremely jealous of your psych appointment only costing $150. even "regular" psych appointments here are $200+. still, I'm glad you had a better experience than I did nonny.
AYRT that is terrible :/ I know the places you're talking about that "specialize" in adhd, they're very popular with rich college kids and parents of wealthy school age kids where I live... tbf the $150 fee was WITH insurance (lol) but it still wouldn't have been much more out of pocket. fwiw if you're in Pennsylvania give me any email address and I'll rec my psychiatrist.
