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?
