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?

    As you probably speak Spanish, why not look into Latin American countries for therapists? My ex girlfriend (from Colombia) told me that especially in Argentina there are a ton of under- or unemployed therapists. There are even some WhatsApp groups of therapists where you can post and then you’ll get many therapists responding you. Unfortunately many of them are pseudoscientific or esoteric. But the brother of my ex girlfriend lives in Buenos Aires and found a great therapist for tdah. So you probably would have to filter out quite a bit but I’m sure there are some qualified therapists that are pretty cheap compared to European prices.
