Does anyone know good and especially cheap therapists who do online therapy for ADHD? (kbin.social)

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?

Here's the countries list on Psychology Today.

I would try to avoid random, potentially unqualified counselors from 3rd world countries..

Well… My 1st world country therapist didn’t believe in adhd, so I had to fire him. Which 1st world country, you ask?

Sweden.

Country doesn’t fn matter.

The list of Asian countries is very small. My time schedule is free during mornings, so American countries are not good for me. But thanks, I guess.

I'm not sure what "American countries" means haha. I wouldn't consider the EU American.

That's the resource that I'm familiar with, but I'd bet similar counselor databases exist for Asian countries.

I didn't even consider EU countries because prices are similar, or more expensive, than those in Spain.

My point was that I had linked to plenty of countries not located within north or south America.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Countries in the Americas? Not sure what you don't understand.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 8 months ago

Countries in America, to be correct.
