Hello, I am 20 years old living in Canada. I want to get diagnosed with ADHD without doing the AHS route due to the long wait times. I know the paid route is quite expensive but I can afford it. I'm wondering what your guys' experience is with being diagnosed. Was it a good experience or terrible? Especially for women since it's harder to get diagnosed from what I hear.
I've heard it's super time consuming which is why I haven't done it yet. Also school has been occupying my time so I haven't really got the chance to do some research. However I really want to push myself towards semi recovery. Even if I don't have it, at least I got some answers. I did try to get diagnosed using the AHS route but they cut me off last minute and said I had anxiety. The person diagnosing me was a student btw. I wish they would hear me out personally but they never do.
Even if you guys aren't from Canada, please let me know how it is and be honest! I would like to hear the rough idea on how much it costs for yall, since it's around 2,000 CAD for me. I can get it cheaper but it's online only.
AHS stands for Alberta Health Services for non Canadians! just wanted to put that out
