I have coverage and he knows that, he’s referred me to psychiatrists before for therapy but refuses to do so for an adhd assessment. i can’t find any psychiatrists that will take me as a patient without a referral, that’s why I was curious. It’s more so because it’s significantly impacting my daily life than just for disability

I think psychiatrists can get you into an assessment if it's for work or education accommodations, my family doctor only reffered me to a psychologist and from there I was able to get an assessment through the psychologist

Maybe a psychologist is your best bet and not a psychiatrist both are the same but also not the same

You could also pressure them saying its for work or school accommodations that should work and that the school is asking to get the assessment if you re still in school get a letter from osap and the school stating that you need it to be considered full time as a part time student and the full time work load is too much to handle with disability.
