Nah I’m championing it. I’ve spent decades in this system and worked with people who do the diagnosing. Your position of reverence for the process of diagnosis or the authority of those doing diagnosis is not well founded. People who are too poor to get diagnosed are still needing help regardless of wheather an academic has weighted in on the subject. Diagnosis is an opinion, to get insurance to pay for healthcare. That’s all it is. I can recommend you some books on the subject if you actually care to learn more about the topic of how diagnosis actually works.
Yes, their intention was to be shitty by asking if you were high because the average person is by no means qualified to self diagnose.
Insisting that it’s a good idea to ignore people who spent their entire higher education and their entire career studying and treating those issues is exactly the same bullshit antivaxers try to pull and it’s dangerously irresponsible.
Mental health is obviously not an exact science; it can’t be. There are far too many variables. But, humans are very good at pattern recognition, and someone who has successfully treated dozens of patients with your exact symptoms is much more likely to get it right than some rando using WebMD.
Sorry, not sorry. You’re so full of shit at every turn, that question becomes more substantiated with every sentence you burble out. (For example: “…doing diagnoses”? FFS. Really?) Your feeble attempt to employ logical fallacy to prop up your lack of argument by exploiting some faceless demographic and shift the concern from your own personal opinion is juvenile and transparent AF. I know I said “Do better” already, but maybe you need to hear it more often. Do better.
I’m not sure if you’re this much of an idiot or just low-level trolling, but neither are my problem. Your comments have been called out for the irresponsible, unhelpful and counter-factual shit that they are. So now, those that may’ve been momentarily curious if your opinions held any merit can safely be assumed to have been more properly informed by the replies of said replies here, thankfully. You, on the other hand, can fuck right off, kiddo. I’ve got better things to do then swat at the flies you attract.

I did not say to ignore them. I said they are not a required authority on the subject.
Having people who are informed about this stuff help people recognize this from a 3rd party perspective is good, and doctors can do that
This — and thank you for restating for clarity.

I’m honestly not understanding what you’re trying to say here. But I guess that’s okay. I at least can pick up the condescension and contempt.
