Adhd testing in Karachi

Folks I’m looking for recommendations for reliable psychiatrists in Karachi who do proper psychiatric test to evaluate if someone had ADHD or other mental health issues.

Mostly what I’ve seen is that folks here just hand depression medication after the first consultation and /or bring on religion in the matter.

as someone who’s been struggling with mental health for quite some point and it having a really bad impact on my life I’m really looking for some promising recommendations.

A concerned mom, smoking habit

I recently discovered a vape-nicotine smoking device in my 24 year old daughter's pants while doing her laundry. I never expected something like this to happen, never did I get any hints ever.

At this point, I am not sure how long she has been smoking for. Now that I know she is, I am also noticing that she dry coughs too often. She goes to a reknowned grad school in Karachi and I am well aware of how common it might be at her campus but I never imagined my daughter doing all this. I am not someone who would confront her for what society thinks of this as a habit but I am genuinely concerned for her health. Also, I firmly believe that mere smoking eventually leads to other habits.

I do realize she is an adult and know whats good for her but the thought has been consistently bugging me for over a week. I am unsure of whether I should it break it to her and if I should, how to discuss this with her without looking like a judgemental and strict parent.

For context, I am a single mother of 2 daughters, the elder one is married and lives with her family in canada. We have been in the uk most of our lives, came back to pakistan after my divorce 9 years ago. Any moms or female smoker who could advice, this situation has really caught me offguard.

My last chance, 80 days until my exams

Hey everyone,

I’m almost 16, an O’Levels student. I’ve always been a bright, high achieving student but a few years ago everything changed. I switched schools and joined a big, well known institution that claimed to provide quality education. But the reality was different. The entire system revolved around business, and students relied on academies instead of actual classroom learning. I was new to O’Levels, trying my best to adapt, but I just couldn’t fit in.

I used to write complaints to the headmistress about teachers skipping classes, about the blatant cheating in exams, but nothing ever changed. During this time, I also lost one of my dearest friends, and that loss shattered me in ways I couldn’t put into words. Eventually, I just stopped going to school. And that’s where my downfall began.

During this time, I built a strong profile. I started earning, took on side hustles, did social work, won international competitions, became a board member of several organizations, and even launched my own charity. On the outside, it looked like I was thriving. But inside? I was lost

Studying became impossible. O’Levels was new to me, and I had no guidance. Every time I tried to sit down and study, I felt overwhelmed, hopeless. I kept telling myself, things will get better, I’ll catch up. But I never did.

I paid my exam fees twice from my own pocket. That’s nearly half a million. But when the time came, I couldn’t bring myself to go to my CIE exams. The fear of failure, the pressure, the FOMO, it paralyzed me. And today, once again, I’ve paid for my exams. My last chance. 80 days left. And I have studied nothing.

Every time I try, I get migraines, I break down, I hear voices in my head telling me I can’t do it. I can't sleep at night, have lost 9 kg weight in the last 15 days alone. My classmates have already moved on to the next classes, and I feel like I’m stuck in a nightmare I can’t escape. Even as I type this, I’m in tears.

I need 8 As*. Not just for myself, but because if I don’t, my dream college, my shot at the Ivy League, it all disappears. People see my CV and think I have it all together. A business, a charity, awards, international recognition. But this? This is the one thing holding me back. And I don’t know how to fix it.

My family doesn’t know what I’ve been going through. They don’t even know I pay my own school fees, my own expenses. For three years, I’ve been independent, making sure they never have to worry about me. But if they ever found out the truth that I’ve been failing myself over and over again I don’t think I could bear the shame.

Right now, I’m at the edge. I don’t know what to do. I feel like giving up.

I need guidance. A mentor. An angel or some ray of hope. Someone who has been through O’Levels and understands this pressure. Someone who can help me figure out how to navigate these 80 days before it’s too late.

I’m based in Peshawar/Islamabad, and if there’s anyone out there who can help, I promise I will be forever grateful. This isn’t just about grades anymore, it’s about saving myself.

People Bus Service Karachi BRT App

Quick question, has anyone used the app for tracking and is the bus tracking any accurate or is the app still BS and finding a bus based on your luck and time? I was thinking of using this instead of Yango etc as its cheaper.

Incorrect DOB CAIE Original Degree

I messed up my date of birth on my AS exam application assuming they go by MM/DD/YY. How much does it cost to get it corrected? And if I was enrolled through my college would this have to be done through my college or can it be done online via Cambridge website?
