i have a lot going on in terms of my mental health, but one thing that is really destroying my life right now seems to be executive dysfunction. i’m well into middle age now and never got assessed, but i’d like to be evaluated and treated if possible. i really don’t know where to start. i don’t have insurance as i’m unemployed (u.s.). what sort of professional should i see who can help me? any thoughts on what to expect along the way? any advice would be most appreciated!

    For medication, once you’re prescribed, use a discount program. There are several in your country, but I’ve found (at least based on their advertised prices) SingleCare to be generally less expensive.

    For comparison:
    Generic adderall looks to be around $35 US.
    Generic vyvanse looks to be around $120 US.

    I also found GoodRX. Generic adderall looks to be about the same as SingleCare.
    Vyvanse looks to be less expensive.

    Looks like a hit/miss, but nothing says you must use only one.

    Good luck!!!

    Edit. It is funny to me. SingleCare was less expensive on other drugs I compared, but definitely not so on the two I know are common for ADHD, making my first statement and my last contradictory lol
