Hi guys

I'm 19F and live in East London. I'm going back to school next year and I'm really struggling with focus — I'm pretty sure I have ADHD and I want to get properly diagnosed so I can get the right prescription and actually manage it for school.

Does anyone know where I can get diagnosed around East London? Any affordable / low-cost places you recommend?

How much did your diagnosis + meds cost? Did you go private or through public (Frere / CMH)?

Any advice would really help, thanks.

Hey guys. So here’s the thing. I’m a South African but when I was in grade 7, my mom decided to take my brother and I to Nigeria 🇳🇬. We stayed there until we finished High School and came back. Before coming back, I didn’t know that you had SAQA evaluate your WAEC (which is the NSC in Nigeria), so after doing it, I saw that it is only equivalent to NQF3 (grade 11). After crying and feeling depressed my mom called up someone she knew that worked at Boston City Campus. The person suggested the GED for me and told me it is equivalent to grade 12 and I can do a bridging course right after and after completing a HC, I can further my studies and get a degree.

I did all this and this year I am completing my HC in software development practice. My results are good as well, i thought (I vunderstandv now that I could’ve done more research) that I could use the HC and the SAQA evaluated GED to get into UNISA. And as of right now, I’m afraid I am wrong. I really don’t know what and how to move on from here, I want to go to Varsity but I don’t think I want to get a Bsc in Computer Informatics which is my main/only option . I like tech but I think I want to follow my interest and go into something more Finance/Tech/Business related.

Would really appreciate some feedback.

Note: after my HC I want to start working next year, hence the reason I prefer distance learning. I am broke and I have a single mother that is not working currently so yeah.
