    Correct.

    But do you know what a diagnosis does?

    1. Explains what you’ve been dealing with so you know it’s not a you problem, it’s a body problem. I grew up believing I was lazy and worthless. I still struggle with that, but my diagnosis helped a bit.
    2. Unlocks trying coping techniques that can help
    3. Unlocks trying medications that can help

    Among other good reasons for a diagnosis.
