RE: I might have ADHD

school kids have to do psychometric tests to assess their mental health 2x a year

Wow this is really great. I wish my country would do this too.. Nice to hear that they care about mental health there. I do think early diagnosis helps a lot, I wish I had that as well.
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. Your support emotionally will be a really great help for her while you wait til you can get her to a psychologist. I am happy to hear that you're even planning that as most parents here don't care and invalidate their children haha.

Hope all goes well for you and your daughter too!

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.

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.
