    ADHD is the worst at this.

    A disorder that makes it hard to have cognitive function & execution has you required to do the following:

    1. Remember that you have the disorder.
    2. Remember that you can get treatment for it.
    3. Find a doctor/NP that specializes in ADHD or cognitive disorders.
    4. Schedule an appointment.
    5. Go to the appointment and go through the rigmarole of getting a new RX.
    6. (Current Market) Call around to pharmacies to find one that has your RX in stock and hope your medical insurance doesn’t reject it or prescribe you something else because you don’t have patient history with just Adderall yet and have to repeat this step because this pharmacy only had the other RX available.
    7. Go pick up your RX.
    8. Repeat 4-8 monthly since ADHD meds are tightly regulated and you can only get a 30-day supply without auto-refills.

    Yeah… We’re completely setup for success.
