self dxing is beneficial ONLY if it leads to the individual working towards an official diagnosis. medical diagnostics are extremely out of reach, but it does NOT give people an automatic pass to loudly claim that they have the condition without proper testing and study. all medical conditions can have heavily overlapping symptoms with lots of varying treatments, and this is especially true in the psychological field where no one brain functions the same as another.

self dx is valid but it is NOT a true diagnosis. no one knows you better than yourself, but you STILL need the education and outward understanding of yourself to formally understand your symptoms and treatment options correctly. doctors STILL SEEK OTHER DOCTORS for treatment because even they can be wrong about their symptoms! "a doctor who treats themself has a fool for a patient" is a well known saying for a reason.
