Your doctor charged you $3k and diagnosed you with a mental illness but is unwilling to prescribe medicine? That feels like theft to me.

Can you at least see if they can start you on a non-stimulant pharmaceutical? Some people really like Strattera (I tried it and had horrible side effects that landed me in the ER, but I know other people who love it). Unfortunately I think Strattera is still patented, so it’s pretty pricey if you don’t have insurance. Make sure to look for coupons that will save you about 90% of MSRP.

I think they will, but they may be too expensive for me to continue with. I only had the verbal report in a video meeting with them. In about a month I will get the written report, along with my regular doctor and my counselor.

They are not the only org that uses a process like this. Many have a longer, more thorough, more expensive process. I don't have a map of these services to navigate, so I'm a bit blind. I went with who was recommended to me. Hopefully having a thorough diagnosis that can travel with me wherever I go can be helpful. If this ends up helping me to address this and have some sort of success in life, $3k will be peanuts.
