I obliquely was referring to how insanely priced Dexedrine Spansules are in America and they countered with (unknowingly) that generics are almost always available for basically every med in America. Which, they’re not outrageously (seemingly) totally out there but I dont think it totally captures how fucked US prices are for even the staples sometimes
K First of all, there are non-stimulants. A diagnosis is seperate from “gets amphetamines/speed”. Ask him to let you try atomoxetine if he doesnt believe you
Also, Has to be a psychiatrist usually too eh, dont get pawned off on a psychologist before you investigate if thats a guranteed route to a legally and medically valid Dx, they might be able to help you perform better but often they cant diagnose you with the good kind of diagnosis that gets meds and accoms. Its like an “I’m in love with the boy”/“The Best things in Life are Free”/ Temu “diagnosis” otherwise even tho it could give you valuable coping skills/life skills a psychiatrist can’t focus on
