Hello. I was diagnosed with ADHD one year ago already (I was 35 back then), but since then I’m only with medical treatment, in other words, with medication. This medication can keep my ADHD symptoms under control, at a degree. But it does absolutely nothing against my executive dysfunction and my focus issues, and I don’t have proper tools to handle my ADHD.

On a Discord server someone told me to look for therapists that do online sessions from third world countries for ADHD people, but I don’t know where to look for them, and I don’t know whether they’re actual therapists or random scammers either. I live in Spain (pointing that out in case you try to push your US narrative), and a psychologists charges between 40 € and 60 € per session, being one session per week. And I can’t afford spending 160 €/240 € per month when I don’t even have a job.

Does anyone can give me some advice or recommendations, or webpages where I can look for someone?

    I’m assuming that you know about SOCIEDAD ESPAÑOLA DE PSICOLOGÍA CLÍNICA – ANPIR and their directory, but just in case: http://www.anpir.org/socios/panel/profesionales_avanzado.php

    Thank you. I’ve only found one psychologist near my town, and he doesn’t even treat ADHD on adults. Only on children and teenagers. Either way, being in Spain I can assure you that price would be astronomical for my wallet.

    About the other link, I’m looking at it. There are a couple of psychologists from Singapore, but I need to be sure that they treat ADHD on adult population, and I don’t even know how the price is per session there.

      Solo es mi experiencia personal, pero creo que tendras que asegurarte muy bien al buscar psicologos que traten TDAH en paises tercermundistas. Soy de uno, y he estado como pelota de tennis de un psicologo/psiquiatra a otro. Un psiquiatra que vi incluso no creia que el TDAH existiese y atribuia mis sintomas a fallas personales. Muy decorado su CV y todo, no esperaba eso.

      Digo esto nada mas porque avances medicos tienden a tardar un poco en llegar aca. Tal vez podrias tener mas suerte con psicologos/psiquiatras jovenes, podrian estar mas actualizados.

      Buena suerte, por cierto!
