When you are not diagnosed, no one takes you seriously.

I would never want to self diagnose either.

It's hard enough for people to take you seriously when you are diagnosed. People will inevitably say " I have felt like that too and I just push through it ".

@Dainbramadge So true.

@Colourflame Even after my clinical diagnoses people still insist on painting me with the same brush as the person I was before the meds.

well you can just say what you want it doesn't mean its true, if the spoken word was so powerful all of us would be gods!

I think it’s foolish to require it if you live in a country that can not provide decent healthcare to all its citizens.

That is true, you can't clearly be something but unless you have been diagnosed you are not yet according to so many.

What do you think you'd be diagnosed with?

It is no ones business if you are diagnosed or not. None. Also..if you want a diagnosis seek help.
