question about the first line of advice
anyone from India willing to share some pointers on how to get an evaluation
signed - someone who has been procrastinating on it for a few years now
- bentt 1y agoMy doctor in the states was willing to do what she called a "clinical diagnosis". After filling out a short questionnaire, my score indicated I may have ADHD. She prescribed a medication for me to try. The idea was if the medication helps, and doesn't make me feel bad, then it would indicate I have ADHD. It helped. I do. That was it!
- xdfgh1112 1y agoIt makes so much sense but the UK is too risk averse to do this unfortunately. Multi month waiting lists for us
- kranner 1y agoUnfortunately in India it’s nearly impossible to get a prescription for stimulant medication because of “abuse potential” even if the psychiatrist acknowledges you exhibit ADHD traits.
- quantamiser 1y agoI am fortunate in that regard. My doctor maintains the inventory needed for his patients purely because it’s almost impossible to get the good stimulants in local pharmacies
- quantamiser 1y agoI am from India and got diagnosed in my mid 30s. If you live in a tier-1 city it’s not that hard to get diagnosed. Go to a psychiatrist. Reddit has a lot of good recommendations based on your city
