How to tell if your mental health diagnosis is correct?

Specializes in Addiction Medicine

Due diligence.: With the age of the internet, a lot of people do not have to rely on doctors to give the diagnosis. You could google your diagnosis and see if you have the symptoms leading to the diagnosis. You can also have a second opinion.
