Why do so many people diagnose themselves without a psychiatrist?
How many times I've heard that.
ADHD, anxiety disorders, depression, etc.
And no diagnosis.
Is it just about attention?

Because antidepressants are not effective in treating anhedonia. Nor psychotherapy, in my opinion. https://www.die-inkognito-philosophin.de/blog/anhedonie
Hello, so the thing is, I self-harm quite often, and I did it again last week. The problem is, I don't want my family or therapist to see it, but it's very noticeable, and I think they would notice. Do you have any tips on how I can hide it? And please don't say anything…
What do you all mean?
Hello, I have a question: if the police received information about self-harm (which was confirmed in a one-on-one conversation), how would the police proceed? Thanks for serious answers
I've overdosed on medications several times when I was stressed or anxious. I just took 7500mg of Ortoton. Does anyone know what I can expect now?
It’s either an eye-catcher or an eyewisserei. Sometimes both play a role.
The diagnoses you mentioned are very attentive. People are talking about it. Of course, the one or the other thinks “I have that too.” They are very often expressed in unconsciousness and unconsciousness. Have already answered some questions in which someone is depressed because he/she was recently left by the partner. (In your list, by the way, autism is missing.)
A lot of people think that if they’ve heard of it, it’ll be an expert. Because self-diagnostics also works in the other direction: lay people think they could diagnose someone, some feel even capable of “treating”.
But from experience I can assure you that knowledge about autism and depression is scaryly low. I’d go so far and suspect a dunning surgeon.
Back to the self-diagnostics:
There are certainly also cases in which it is merely a form of so-called medical student syndrome: By employing diseases, characterizing symptoms are found in themselves.
Others also simply want to justify faulty or insufficient character properties with diseases because they are too comfortable to work on themselves.
Because the health system is not designed for so many help-seekers with mental illnesses and one has waiting times for diagnosis that exceed one year.
For people who really need help a difficult, hardly acceptable situation, which means they have to help themselves by self-help groups etc.
On the one hand, perhaps just the fear of having to rely on others, where you get the most information yourself today. On the other hand, perhaps to be able to blame a disease for its own shortcomings.
I am officially mentally ill, but I often tell myself that I am “innocent”.
They mean to be smarter than the professionals and want the superfluous confirmation for their self-diagnosis
Yes, usually.
because they have the feeling that the Google tests will make a diagnosis even though it is quite clear that it does not replace a doctor!
They don’t diagnose. They try to describe their character with kitchen psychology
Because they think they’re mentally ill, just because they don’t run so round and because they don’t know correct mental illness at all and the terms are used much too inflatable.
If you’d rather be Engelbert, it’s so much more than that.
Are stubborn loot
Men tell us the extreme right party again.
What?
They speculate wildly. You shouldn’t take that seriously.
You have to take them seriously, even clearly contradict them!
You don’t have to. After attention, one must ignore rather than give them the attention they want.
