Or stuff that is really difficult to get. Part of the diagnostic process for my psychiatrist needs me to arrange a 30 minute interview with a family member (which only works if you have a family member who is willing to do so, believes that ADHD isn't just a personal failing, or has the time to arrange such a thing), or reports from primary school, which most people aren't likely to keep around when they're an adult in university.
If you don't have either of those, no diagnosis for you, and you're out several hundred dollars for nothing.
My father straight up lied to the psychiatrist and ruined my chances forever. I wanted my mother to go, but she was busy.
Good luck getting diagnosed in Serbia, and then it's only a liability, since people will believe you are making up reasons, and faking it.
