By the way, if you're drinking more than 8 cups of coffee a day there's a good chance that you're self-medicating for ADHD and you should get checked out.
Hi. I'm on Medicaid (thank you ACA, and thank you Republican governor for not being a complete shitheel like your compatriots in Kansas and Iowa). It's pretty great for everyday things, but one thing it doesn't cover? Psychological diagnostic testing. And my PCP doesn't recommend starting meds at my age (mid-forties).
It might be worth paying out of pocket for a potential life altering diagnosis. Easier said than done depending on your personal finances.
There are also newer non-stimulant meds if age/heart health is an issue, and some off-label drugs that GP doctors can prescribe that could help as well (Wellbutrin comes to mind).
Seems more and more like mental health issues are just made up and not worth paying attention to anyway, so this makes perfect sense from a Healthcare standpoint. Good to know the government is budgeting wisely. Probably no downstream benefits of my tax dollars going to other peoples mental health.
If you disagree with any of this, I'm happy to discuss it further - reach out to me through this online form:

Still trying to figure out if the link between B12 deficiency and adhd holds any real merit. Cause if it does imma start eating that shit like you're not supposed to eat Tic-Tacs.
You shouldn't want to be deficient in B12 either way. Go do a blood test to see if you are, and then if yes, just take the recommended dose on the bottle of pills. They're usually wayyyy higher than the recommended daily intake anyway.
This is assuming that a blood test is affordable where you live.
"It is by caffeine alone I set my mind in motion. It is by the beans of Java that thoughts acquire speed, the hands acquire shakes, the shakes become a warning. It is by caffeine alone I set my mind in motion."
you wouldn't understand it if you've never had enough caffeine to smear your feeble human mind across the endless plane of the past, present, and future
