How does a therapist diagnose someone accurately? How do they know? I've been thinking about this a lot.

For instance, how do you differentiate ADD from say, being a right brained individual, or a kinesthetic learner? Just because you show symptoms and fit the criteria of the DSM doesn't always mean you have a problem.

Are professionals too quick these days to diagnose?
