I read a lot of people on reddit's r/adhd were they suffer with ADHD (or something similar, as they aren't diagnosed) but can't afford it. I read one that said they spend over US$ 1000 and had to stop looking because of the price.

I'm Brazilian, on the Brazilian private care, I was paying around 60USD for 1h talking to a doctor. A doctor that is fluent in English will probably charge more to treat international patients.

My full diagnose took around 10 visits, so it wasn't super cheap in comparison, but it was very through. I can share a translated version of the report I got on private message if anyone is curious.

edit: I created the I created !adhd_resources@lemmy.fbmac.net as suggested by @MrPoopyButthole@lemmy.world

Hello fellow UK friend!

I found a private provider very easily. Google should be able to help you there.

But yes, also expensive ๐Ÿ˜ž.

I have found it to be worth the cost. YMMV. But can't put a price on healthy functioning.
