Title, basically. I know I have issues, but I couldn’t say if it’s depression, ADD, or just general problems. Is the only reason to have a diagnosis so you know what to work on, or are there other benefits such as easier access to therapy?
My question is meant specifically for Canada, but feel free to chip in from other countries. :)
Nearly everyone in modern times has a mental illness because this capitalism-and-media-driven era we were all born in to is not healthy and drives everyone mad. Getting a diagnosis is handy if you’re seeking to get medicated and/or file for disability for the brain damage society has caused.
