I can't speak to painkillers but this makes no sense at all for ADHD patients and is literally just an artificial barrier -- not because it's impossible to see a doctor in person but because finding someone local qualified to formally diagnose ADHD is a huge pain. My therapist was like, "you obviously have ADHD but I can't diagnose you, you should talk to your primary." My primary was like, "you obviously have ADHD but I can't prescribe anything -- not because I'm not allowed but because I need to cover my ass. You need to see a psychologist or psychiatrist and get a letter. Then I can manage your medication." You know how many psychologists in my area do evaluations like this -- none.
