Hello. I was diagnosed with ADHD one year ago already (I was 35 back then), but since then I’m only with medical treatment, in other words, with medication. This medication can keep my ADHD symptoms under control, at a degree. But it does absolutely nothing against my executive dysfunction and my focus issues, and I don’t have proper tools to handle my ADHD.
On a Discord server someone told me to look for therapists that do online sessions from third world countries for ADHD people, but I don’t know where to look for them, and I don’t know whether they’re actual therapists or random scammers either. I live in Spain (pointing that out in case you try to push your US narrative), and a psychologists charges between 40 € and 60 € per session, being one session per week. And I can’t afford spending 160 €/240 € per month when I don’t even have a job.
Does anyone can give me some advice or recommendations, or webpages where I can look for someone?

From what I know of Spain’s healthcare system is that it is generally quite good for traditional healthcare. Reading up on it, it does seem that mental healthcare is not as good in the sense there are very few therapists and such. But does that also mean that it isn’t covered by your insurance at all?
I don’t have any insurance, only for dental treatments. For everything else I’m under the Social Security.
Spain’s healthcare is quite good, which means most people don’t bother with private insurance.
For better or for worse, it falls short in:
That means dental (other than diagnosing, and pulling teeth out), plastic surgery (except for functional purposes, with recent debate about whether reassignment surgery is functional or not), or stuff like mental therapy.
