I have depression anxiety and meds for both. It helps but I think I have ADD but to get diagnosed as an adult I must pay $1000+ because insurance won’t pay. I have been trying to get my nursing degree for years and can’t focus enough to make the grade or retain information to pass tests. It’s increasing my depression

Hi F2cast. $1000 seems a lot. I know that there are psychiatrist that charge $150-300. You can look them up in your area. I may depend on where you live. But at least 1 session could be a start until you have enough money to get the next session. Do you have any family that can help you?
