''But if you do proper research-'' no. Psychiatries study psychology and learn lots of things about human mind and mental things for a reason. If self diagnosis was valid, they would just search up your fake ahh symptoms and say ''Oh, google says you have bipolar disorder''
If you're like 12-18 years old and having some emotional or social problems, you're going through puberty which everyone experiences once in their lifetime, you don't have extreme mental health problems. Puberty is usually hard for most of the teenagers and can have differences depending on your gender but one thing is the same: You experience emotional difficulties.
Also why is everybody trying to have a mental problem nowadays? Why can't you just be grateful that you're healthy, and trying to seek attention all the time? I actually think that most of the people saying that they are doing sh are just attention seekers. Because depressive and suicidal people are usually socially unstable and would want to be alone most of the time.

It’s about time someone came out and said this. It’s become almost a fashion to proclaim oneself autistic,bipolar or whatever else on the basis of some list of symptoms that they have read either online or in a book or magazine. If someone thinks that they may have a mental disorder they need to seek a legitimate diagnosis from a mental health professional not just proclaim that they have it and then treat it as a status symbol.

funny enough, using sh as way of attention seeking is a form of mental illness even if you do or dont cut yourself, if it to simply get the attention of others. it is an issue.
but anyway, i get what you mean, i think its just a bunch of different mental issue behind other issues most people feel they relate too, not saying self diagnosing is valid. its dumb asf. but still
