I do think early diagnosis helps a lot, I wish I had that as well.
I had zero knowledge about ADHD before my experience with my daughter. I thought it was just being hyperactive 🤦‍♀. It turns out that girls/women exhibit different symptoms compared to boys/men, often receiving a diagnosis of ADHD-Inattentiveness. I'm grateful that my daughter opened up to me after undergoing a psychometric test in November, and requested a proper assessment.
Are psychologists expensive there? Here they are too, but there are some public hospitals we can go to so we can have them cheap or almost zero fees.
Yes, they are very pricey. While public hospitals do provide the test, the lengthy waiting lists sometimes extend up to a year. Maybe I have to power down or withdraw my HBD savings to fund her treatments.
