I read a lot of people on reddit's r/adhd were they suffer with ADHD (or something similar, as they aren't diagnosed) but can't afford it. I read one that said they spend over US$ 1000 and had to stop looking because of the price.

I'm Brazilian, on the Brazilian private care, I was paying around 60USD for 1h talking to a doctor. A doctor that is fluent in English will probably charge more to treat international patients.

My full diagnose took around 10 visits, so it wasn't super cheap in comparison, but it was very through. I can share a translated version of the report I got on private message if anyone is curious.

Hey guys, unfortunately advertising is not allowed here. It's to protect our members from being exploited. I know that there can be legitimate good reasons to allow it, but I think starting a community called ADHD_resources would be a better way of going about it. And if its modded properly I will allow links to those posts as an exception.

That's a good point. I dunno how I would be able know what is legit.

On a possible ADHD_resources it's still better than googling directly, the other users can comment when something bad happens

Do you want to create and/or mod it?
