If you're in the SE, I can recommend my psych. My initial appointment was free under the Medicare thing, and then every appointment is like $150 something I think? It's more than $100 but less than $200. Wait times are I think maybe a month or so? But it could've changed since then as he only does appointments every 2nd Saturday which is annoying tbh.

Surprisingly enough it's been pretty quiet.

It's stupid that I have to pay so much to just get a script though. Ridiculous.

I might look into getting an ADHD coach, but those are super hard to find someone qualified to work with.

Can't your gp write a script? Or do you need to keep seeing your pysch?

I wish! No they need like a special certificate or something for it. It's crazy.
