Fellow European here - at least in Poland it is virtually impossible to get diagnosed as an adult, and there is very little knowledge of ADHD among mental health prpfessionals.
ADHD affects around 5% population, as various studies have shown. In Poland we have virtually 0% adults diagnosed an on treatmnt, and I don’t know a single therapist that wI could confidently recommend to a person seeking diagnosis/treatment. (And I looked and asked around a lot).
By comparison, in SF there is a dedicated clinic for adult ADHD, not to mention therapists aware of such thing.
