Having finally gone through the process of getting diagnosed with ADHD, I can't agree more.

I talked with my doctor about a referral, he essentially just said "find somebody in your network" and gave no direction. Of course, finding psychiatric care in my network was a no-go, so I ended up paying out of pocket.

Even with the diagnosis and subsequent medication prescription, the out of pocket price was $189 for 30 days for a generic medication! Only with a coupon app was the price lowered to ~$50.

It's no wonder the black market for drugs is so strong considering the barrier to entry, not just monetarily but logistically.
