Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I don t have medical insurance and have adult ADHD.....I have been trying to manage without medication for a long time now but its getting bad especially from recent high stress related issues in the past few years. Is there something I can do that doesn t cost lots of money.
I went through your details. ADHD treatment in itself is teaching to manage the patient himself. Psychiatry medicines, psychotherapy, life style changes, meditation and relaxation therapy are treatment methods. Psychiatric medicines are prescribed only in case of extreme necessity especially while the anxiety and attention deficit is fairly high.
As you were trying to manage your case for many years, you already have experience in managing. At this juncture, you may not need any psychiatric medicines. But, when stress levels become more, the symptoms may prove to be too much. I suggest you to consult a psychologist for the psychotherapy and other techniques. These therapies should take time. Be patient and work with the therapist for cure.
