My neurologist started me on some meds and expects me to go back every moth to get a new prescription. That's not happening. It's the second time I've run out of meds for mor than a month.
Also she says that ADHD can be treated with a 6 months treatment (which i interpet as "it can be cured"), which I'm not sure it can and says that Ritalin is for children while someone I know tells me that's not true
Well that's a massive red flag. You should definitely get a second opinion.
I agree with your acquaintance - your neurologist does not give sound advice.
in some countries this was the case until a couple years ago (might still be the case in some places).
The official use case was only for children. Doctors could of course perscribe it to adults, but that was not "on label".
It might be that it's either still the case wherever you are, or that the doctor has outdated information
