And lastly, if you do exstensive research into any kind of illnesses and recognize several symptoms within yourself then, are you just a hypochondriac who is full of it and have no idea what you're talking about?

your title question "Do doctors or therapists ever withhold diagnosis info from patients?"
yes. here in america we have mental disorders in almost every mental disorder category, that covers this area where treatment providers do not have to tell their clients what their diagnosis is or why they do not fit in, one way or another a certain mental disorder that the therapist or client may think they have.
they are all the diagnosis's called "unspecified" in the diagnostic manuals.
no not all people who do research are in your words "full of it" and in your words a "hypochondriac"
suggestion talk with your treatment providers, they may tell you how and why they have you diagnosed a certain way, but on the files they may not want to say for sure one way or the other.
