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. :)
Knowing what exactly is going is a big thing. I thought I had some form of ADD but it turns out I was just depressed and the ADD symptoms were just a side effect of it. Being diagnosed and on the correct medication was a game changer.
