I switched to Kaiser years ago but kept my psychiatrist out of network because she was amazing and she was just treating me for anxiety with an SSRI. Paying out of pocket was just fine for that. Got diagnosed with ADHD at age 37 last year and can no longer pay out of pocket for my meds. (Good heavens! ADHD meds are expensive!) So I made the decision to switch my psychiatry over to Kaiser. My new psych has been great but getting my medical records transferred has been a huge headache! It's been months of back and forth and my unmedicated ADHD really can't keep up with the amount of emails and phone calls required for that.I finally asked my doctor to just start from scratch and get diagnosed through Kaiser. Cue all the anxiety that maybe it's all in my head, that maybe I don't really have ADHD, or maybe they won't believe me, or my symptoms aren't severe enough to justify medication. I just got off my assessment video appointment and he said that he needs his supervisor to look over it but that it definitely sounds like I have ADHD. Hooray! I'm not making things up! I needed to share this with someone and I knew you ladies would understand! This is the best subreddit on Reddit, btw!
