In the USA, got diagnosed with ADHD and prescribed meds. Start to finish took 3 weeks. I have good insurance and live in a civilized part of the country – the difference between states (and even parts of states) when it comes to healthcare is stark.
We had to move one of my elderly, infirm aunts to Michigan because the Texas healthcare system is a bad joke if you’re on public aid. She almost certainly would be dead if she stayed.

Yeah, I got diagnosed in about a month. And it only took that long because the psych accidentally double-booked appointment times and we had to reschedule. But that was with decent insurance. If I was self-pay or on public healthcare (which is basically non-existent in my state) then I’d still be waiting.

Texas is a death cult desperately trying to convince everyone it is just another shithole.
