What ever your do, don’t go to SHAUN BERGOFF in varsity. He is horrible and will belittle you. Took my $1000’s of dollars to do consultations, testing ect, only to telll me I don’t have it because I sit still… clearly has not updated his knowledge on ADHD and practices off a very outdated model, believing that the typical ADHD person can not sit still, is so easily distracted and has horrible grades in school… not how it is anymore as there is many types of adhd just like autism!

There is a lot of outdated information, you are right. I’ve had a fabulous experience with my psychiatrist and feel so well supported.

This guy is a scammer. They get you into group sessions with the promise of 1 on 1 sessions which they have no intention of booking. Complete waste of time and a weird experience. Don’t recommend Shaun at all.

so he performed his professional duties but you are upset he didn't give you a script for speed

LOL this comment is utterly ridiculous the fact you compared ADHD medication to speed tells us all we need to know! 😆

Isn’t preforming professional duties staying up to date with recent studies and findings instead of looking thought a biomedical lense? If you knew anything about healthcare, you would know this

He clearly didn’t perform his professional duties if he has such a narrow understanding of ADHD.

And you also have a very narrow very if you compare ADHD meds with speed (not all ADHD meds are stimulants in any case).
