When ever - I - asked one of - MY - therapists what - MY -diagnosis was - I - was always told they as therapists could not officially diagnose - ME -. They can make "guesses" based on what I tell them about me as to what they think - I - may have. but they cannot officially diagnose - ME -.

for an official diagnosis - I - had to see a psychiatrist and or psychologist and take a test called a Comprehensive Psychological Evaluation (Minnasota Multiphasic Personality Inventory and other tests like it) that will tell the psychiatrist, psychologist and - I - what my official diagnosis is.

Getting official diagnosis isn't necessary but is very helpful in getting the correct treatment plans the first time around.
