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).

So… coffee it is I guess ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯

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).

Good luck out there 🫡

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: https://act.nrcc.org/contact-us/
