The Wednesday Wellness threads are meant to encourage users to ask for and provide advice and motivation to improve their lives. It isn't intended as a 'containment thread' and any content which could go here could instead be posted in its own thread. You could post:
-
Requests for advice and / or encouragement. On basically any topic and for any scale of problem.
-
Updates to let us know how you are doing. This provides valuable feedback on past advice / encouragement and will hopefully make people feel a little more motivated to follow through. If you want to be reminded to post your update, see the post titled 'update reminders', below.
-
Advice. This can be in response to a request for advice or just something that you think could be generally useful for many people here.
-
Encouragement. Probably best directed at specific users, but if you feel like just encouraging people in general I don't think anyone is going to object. I don't think I really need to say this, but just to be clear; encouragement should have a generally positive tone and not shame people (if people feel that shame might be an effective tool for motivating people, please discuss this so we can form a group consensus on how to use it rather than just trying it).
Jump in the discussion.
No email address required.
Notes -
Given that senior psychiatrists in the business of ADHD prescriptions can charge as high as 800 a go (at the least for the first visit), I don't think you need an aristocrat. Do that long enough and you can probably slip someone money to knight you.
I was looking at 400 for a new assessment to confirm that yes, I have ADHD, that would be done by a psychologist, and about the same for all the rest, including the psych.
£200/300 was the cost of her monthly base touching with the psychiatrist, about 50 minutes a session.
I did get an ADHD diagnosis in the US myself and merely paid $500 for the first workup and $200 per month for that sweet sweet Adderall.
Psychiatry sounds pretty sweet from a money perspective. Though I recall, maybe it was a monologue in The House of God, that it's one of the more boring career paths for an MD.
