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. :)

    Well, if you say frequently suffer from headaches, would you not also eventually go see a doc to figure out whether it’s something bigger you should be worried about?
