i am kinda only self diagnosed right now. last i asked about it it was 3,000 dollars. i hope to get one one day, but this economy is bad enough. i dont need a doctor to know what im experiencing anyways. its moreso for some kinda closure and also possible government help since i cant work full time without going crazy
I'm for self DX as long as it is done in good faith and you realize the implications that come with the associated labels. I've worked with therapists who tolerated my self DX in the sense that I was then able to get the support and validation I needed. Although I was never diagnosed with XYZ I was always profiled with that "potential" DX in mind since a young age. That's what lead me to self DX in the first place.
