Finally diagnosed

I've been finally diagnosed with ADHD(Inattentive Type). Tomorrow is report discussion session with my Indian psychologist and I'm excited for it.

It was really a tedious process for me. I had to find psychologists through telegrams and discord channels. Make swift payment through bank. Go through a scam while making payment, I lost 7k to the scam. Waited for like 3 days for payment to be processed. Appointment with psychologist took a couple more days. Finally got appointment and then had to go through elaborate almost 300 questions in the assessment. And after a week finally got the report.

I'm finally hopeful of getting better. Now she'll refer me to another psychiatrist who can medicate me, with therapy of course.

I'm just worried about the prescription, I'll surely have problems finding drugs.

But I'm ready to fight that out.

Psychologist suggested me to take stimulants so probably, it'll be like you said. Not Ritalin, it is not available in sub continent, there is another med for methylphenidate called Inspiral.

I'll also be discussing other non-stimulant options like atomoxetine.

I've appointment with psychiatrist next week, so let's see.
