Really want to know your thoughts.

The reason I ask this is because recently I asked a question on a mentally disorder subreddit and when someone answered and I asked more about it and how was the diagnosis process within their case they said they weren’t formally diagnosed but it was “kinda obvious yk”.

No hate towards that person, just want to know yalls opinions over here.

I do think that when you are answering a question on a subreddit about a mental disorder that you self diagnosed the minimal that you should do is use a flare or identify that you are not formally diagnosed. A lot of people that self diagnosed don’t even consider the fact that their symptoms could be something totally different and talk from their own experience which could cause real harm to someone that is medically and accurately diagnosed and doesn’t have those experiences. They just totally believe they have it and don’t doubt it for a second, even within that community.
