I decided to go to The Lgbtc center looking for a psychiatris , since I been there in the past for regular check up and they accept Medical and for me has been really difficult to find doctors under that insurance.

Anyways, the point is that I finally got to see a psychiatrist after 2 months because they have the longest wait list.

Long story short, this psychiatrists and the whole LGBTC Center Mental health department seem to be for recovering addicts. I when to get help since was finally diagnosed with ADD at 22 years of age and OMG! They treated me like an addict, I genuinely when there because I was adviced to seek therapy and medication for ADD because at this point in my life ADD wasn t just affecting my school life.
Basically, the medication for ADD has the same active ingredient as Meth and if you have seen The lobby in the mental health lobby , it s full of meth flyers. Soooo I think they didn t want to prescribe me the medicine because some people abuse of it. Also, In order to prescribe you something like the medication for ADD they drug test you.
Like I dont even drink or smoke tabaco , The most I do is smoke weed, and if smoke 5 times in a year that means I m out of control.

Yet, they always drug test you in order to prescribe you medicine. Like They even made me signed a paper that wouldnt do any drugs and what not. They made me waste my time for over 10th months because they never even prescribed me the right medice, I only deal with them because I didn t had a better insurance. I wouldn t recommend the mental health department unless your an addict or couples therapy.

THE POINT IS, THE MENTAL HEALTH DEPARTMENT WILL TREAT YOU AS AN ADDICT EVEN IF YOUR NOT AN ADDICT.

If your trying to find help for ADD & ADHD do not come to this place, I regret the time I wasted here so much, this place hold me back from making progress with ADD because of how they treat everyone like an addict. I know they thought they where helping, but when you treat someone who isn t an addict like one your just damaging them.

The moment I got a new insurance, i never when back to this place. Now I m going to a new doctor and I m getting the right medicine and I m not being treated as an addict anymore. Yay.
