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?

    Hola. Yo soy de México y doy consejería filosófica . Además tengo TDAH yo mismo, diagnóstico que recibí igualmente de adulto, así que podría ayudarte y entenderte también desde mi experiencia. Si no es algo que te pueda interesar, te puedo canalizar con un buen psicoterapeuta de por aquí.

    You could use a medical directory such as this one. This one is Mexican and it has filters so you can find an ADHD expert within the clinical psychologists. Contact them.

    If you allow me a piece of advice, don’t be cheap with these people. Just because they are used to earn miserably doesn’t mean that it isn’t hard. Living super tightly, stressed because it isn’t enough to save for the future… That’s the reality for many psychotherapists in Mexico —not all, but many. If you can pay them justly because of the euro (obviously considering your needs too), do so, please.
