Sometimes, the symptoms are such that we may not even recognize whether or not they interfere with our daily living. Or, we may try to work through them, as I did for so many years.
I think they do make me a difficult person. People find.me too much sometimes.
Did you ever manage it well without meds?
Note: Denmark has a similar service to the NHS but you are a lot better protected if you take out health insurance. Prescriptions are quite expensive without insurance and some waiting times are longer without insurance (eg, psychology or none emergency treatments). Insurance is not a lot and im fortunate enough to be able to afford it. but if im diagnosised with ADHD by a danish specialist then my payment would be higher (because of an illness diagnosis since living here).
Im.basically afraid of.my insurance cost going up.
Which I understand is a major first word problem. But as issues nevertheless.
