For me, being diagnosed wasn't being labeled. I never thought in a million years I would be bipolar. I denied it over and over. Finally fully understanding that was "just like when Harry Potter was told that he was a wizard". There are all these other people who have weird stuff happen to them just like him

It also helps me medication, insurance, and if you wanted to join like a support group or something.

It's not about being labeled or the stigma... it's more about being able to put a word to it. Helping others understand a little bit better
