Where to get an ADHD diagnosis for adults in Cape Town?

[zolly]

As per the title, anyone have any doctors they would recommend for an ADHD diagnosis in an adult?

If you have to ask , then yeah you probably have ADHD.

Good news is that you can go to any doctor, who can diagnose or refer you to a specialist. It's covered if you have a semi-decent medical aid.

Yes, any GP will be able to make a recommendation. In regard to the medical aid, well, some go by the 'motivation' made by the specialist.

It's a made-up, non-existent "disease"...

It's not for me, but someone I know who ticks all the boxes. They are struggling and I am looking for a solution, so whether it's "made up" or not, anything I can do to help them would be great.

Please tell me this was meant to be some kind of satire or something.

The person I'm trying to help stays in the southern suburbs, so anyone who can help get a diagnosis in this area would be great.

What a schlep to get your hands on some drugs.

I've gotten such a diagnosis (and help) from a variety of medical professionals in the Southern Suburbs, if you need any further recommendations, let me know.

If you want Ritalin, all you have to do is go to an Indian doctor in a lower income area and say you need to focus when you're studying and need Ritalin. Chances are around 75%-100% that he will agree.

ADHD in adults is when he/she is impulsiver, cannot concentrate and gets frustrated easily. In other words, a good beating was not adminstered as a child.

Yeah it's money for them so they will not refuse. I've also seen the same where I used to live. S5 drugs, as long as you look neat and not like an addict.
