If you read the comments, it seems to be precisely the people in countries with universal healthcare who are having trouble. Getting diagnosed in the US is relatively easy. For me it was a single visit to a psychiatrist, $300 out of pocket because I have not hit my deductible yet. Have been on stimulants and doing well ever since.
I’m a therapist. In grad school, one of my professors said that the most reliable way to diagnose someone with ADHD is to give them a stimulant and see how they react. Understandably, that’s not how people are diagnosed for safety and ethical reasons… but it is effective.

From all over the place, really. I’m like an opossum myself - I look through tons of trash on the internet to find something worthwhile for Lemmy 🤣
Hugging you right back <3
I’m not goth, but my husband treats me like Gomez treats Morticia. Can confirm that a lot of sex happens. So, like, do it.
Love me some Four Corners mischief. There is usually a food truck there serving Native American frybread - delicious!!!
Amazing! I can’t wait until that’s reality.
This makes me very happy, thank you for sharing!
After his wife lost her eyesight at the age of 52, this man planted a carpet of scented pink flowers outside their house to make her smile again.
Mr and Mrs Kuroki married in 1956. They had two children and settled into a happy life as dairy farmers in Shintomi Town, Japan.
It was tough work but, as they grew older, they started to plan their retirement – they were going to travel around Japan together.
But, after 30 years of marriage when Mrs Kuroki was 52-years-old, she lost her eyesight over the space of a week, due to complications with her diabetes, RocketNews24 reports.
She withdrew from life on the farm and became more and more isolated. Thinking about ways he could get friends and family to visit her each day, her husband spotted a pink shibazakura flower growing in the garden.
He realised these flowers weren’t just stunning to look at – they also had a beautiful scent.
He began to plant more of the bright pink flowers outside the house. He planted thousands of them over the next two years. In a bid to make his wife smile, he created a glorious scented carpet of pink outside their front door.
Slowly, she began to come out of the house again to enjoy the garden.
A decade on and the beautiful pink garden attracts a constant stream of visitors from surrounding towns – often around 7,000 a day in spring.
And Mrs Kuroki can often be seen walking around the garden with her husband, a huge smile on her face.
He just wanted some Muscle Milk.
I plan on doing this for my son when he is ready to save for a car.
Knitting. Super cheap to start, you can pick up a set of needles and some acrylic yarn for under $20. But when you start getting into nice yarns and bigger pieces, you are spending hundreds of dollars on yarn alone for a blanket or a sweater. And you want nice needles in all sizes as well as all types (double pointed, regular and circular)… more hundreds of dollars.
Moral of the story is if a friend knits you something with nice yarn, please appreciate it. Lots of effort and thought went into it.
That makes me so happy! Glad you were able to follow your dreams!
