Dr. J. no longer sees adult ADD patients. CAMH cut his funding, so he can only see children, whose needs are considered to be greater than those of adults. So we’re pretty much stuck with trying to find a private specialist or clinic.
I started going to the Springboard Clinic (near Rosedale Station, in Toronto), about a month ago, and so far, it’s a step in the right direction for me. Their staff consists of doctors (specializing in meds for ADD and other conditions), psychologists, and coaches.
The visits with the doctors are covered by OHIP. The visits with the psychologists and coaches are not.
If you’ve been previously formally diagnosed, you might not need to do the full battery of tests to get a fresh diagnosis. It’s decided on a case-by-case basis. You can find out more on their website: http://www.springboardclinic.ca.
