wow thats hostile, fuck you too buddy
I thought I was hostile until proven otherwise?
go fuck yourself you piece of shit,
a) I am officially diagnosed dont know why you assumed I wasnt
b) not everyone has equal access to healthcare and might have no choice other than to self-diagnose and medicate any range of illnesses
c) there are systemic issues like e.g. racism, sexism (sexism is double the issue in mental health than it is in physical) paired with the superiority complex of some doctors constantly leads to psychiatrists dismissing and downplaying their struggles and not diagnosing or writing prescriptions a patient needs.
but glad you keyboard warriors who never had to deal with this shit got it all figured out
"a) I am officially diagnosed dont know why you assumed I wasnt"
Do you need to be officially diagnosed? You've made it very clear you have the power of Google and YouTube on your side.
"b) not everyone has equal access to healthcare and might have no choice other than to self-diagnose and medicate any range of illnesses"
If you could diagnose yourself you wouldn't need any of those things.
"c) there are systemic issues like e.g. racism, sexism (sexism is double the issue in mental health than it is in physical) paired with the superiority complex of some doctors constantly leads to psychiatrists dismissing and downplaying their struggles and not diagnosing or writing prescriptions a patient needs."
Oh, so now I see. You don't even need doctors because they're racist or something because they didn't give you the diagnosis Google said you had.
