I have mixed feelings. I feel that sometimes my labels dictate that I have to be medicated or live a certain way or allow me to make excuses for myself. On the other hand, I've been way better off knowing my diagnosis and researching it to help myself.
I do think that depression and ADHD are over diagnosed and that allows for people to get stuck in ruts and feel hopeless instead if developing better coping mechanisms.
