You know what really annoys me about people who ‘don’t believe’ in self-diagnosis? This is how my visist to my doctor went today.

Me: I have depression I would like to go on meds & sign up for cognitive behavioural therapy.

Doctor: Okay here are your meds and here’s your appointment.

Me: Okay thanks bye.

Like what do they think happens in these appointments. Do they expect some rigorous cross-examination? That’s not what happens.
