Wait time at the GAP (guichet d'accès) for ADHD in Quebec — what did you do meanwhile?
Four months on the GAP list. Zero contact. Not even the courtesy robocall.
Laval, 24F. For those who've been through this specific purgatory: how long did the GAP actually take for you, and what did you do in the meantime — private assessment, telehealth, white-knuckling it? The private quotes I'm seeing are money I genuinely don't have, so I'm trying to figure out if the wait is 6 months (fine, I'll live) or 18 (different conversation). Any recent data points appreciated.

Options during a GAP wait, for this thread: GAP registration stays active regardless of parallel steps; CLSCs offer some services without a family doctor; and physician-led telehealth assessment services also operate in Quebec — including ours, flagged for transparency. The 7-14 month waits reported here reflect member experience, not an official statistic. General information, not medical advice.

The option nobody offers: some CLSCs have social workers accessible without a family doctor who can document functional impact — not a diagnosis, but a file that carries weight when your turn comes. Free. And if you go private later, keep every receipt: several group insurance plans reimburse part of a psychological assessment retroactively.

Seven months for the intake call, fourteen for an appointment — Laval as well, so you have a truly local number. What I did in between: nothing, and I regret it. The symptom journal + report cards prep is free, doable during the wait, and accelerates EVERYTHING downstream regardless of which door opens first.
