I cannot stress enough how enormous the barriers to entry for psychiatric care are in the US, especially for ADHD and autism. Every month I spend the better part of four days arguing and filling out paperwork and calling receptionists — and spending so much — so just my brain stays able to do those tasks and earn that money.
How are people supposed to work shifts and handle this? What if you're a parent? These meds cost nothing to produce. Why is it not cheaper for society to let me function?
