Or live in a country with universal health care and stop being a second world country.

So add moving to another country to the list, lol

Americans don't need to do that, they just have to actually fight to get proper health care to elevate themselves to first world status.

Ahh ok i see now. Please give me more specific instructions--yours are a tad vague

[–] systemglitch@lemmy.world -1 points 5 months ago (1 children)

Lol. Best country in the world right? Good luck with that.

If you read the comments, it seems to be precisely the people in countries with universal healthcare who are having trouble. Getting diagnosed in the US is relatively easy. For me it was a single visit to a psychiatrist, $300 out of pocket because I have not hit my deductible yet. Have been on stimulants and doing well ever since.
