This might be a bit sensitive of a question to ask, but what country are you in? Because I’ve lived in several western European countries and the access to healthcare wildly varies between them. Especially countries that’ve “enjoyed” a multitude of conservative/right wing governments over the past three decades seem to have really embraced enshittifying healthcare access and affordability while pushing an American-style private system as the “solution”.
I’m sorry to hear that. And yes, it’s depressing to see these “privitization will save us all” types destroy public services using the same old playbook of “defund, defund, defund, point out the issues after decades of defunding, then start to slow-roll private options until the public service has been fully hollowed out” everywhere.
A psychologist/psychiatrist is not a therapist, it’s a very different pay grade.
A therapist will usually consult with a psychologist to get you recommendations, and will help you work through your ADHD. It may take a couple of attempts to get a good one, though.
I wish I could afford therapy.
My health insurance only pays for 2 psych vists/y. This is in “socialist utopia” W-EUR.
We shouldn’t mock the US healthcare system, ours is only marginally better.
You wanna know something cool though? If I was alcoholic instead of depressed, I could get help for free.
I hate this entire world and every human being on it, and my parents most of all for bringing me into it.

Flanders, Belgium. We’ve been ruled by right-wing austerity hawks for a good decade now, so you hit the nail on the head.
