How exactly does a diagnosis work in therapy? Is it where they're literally analyzing you for some sort of condition the moment you have your first session? Is it something mandatory that all therapists do to clients? Do you have to have some sort of condition to fit a diagnosis, if so what are some examples? If that's the case, what if you don't have any conditions to fit a "diagnosis"? Sorry if these are dumb questions, but this is my first time in therapy and I'm quite confused.
