Do not rely on your family doctor for a psych diagnosis. They do not have enough specialized training. Mav, you may need to go through your doctor because of insurance purposes and needing a referral.
See a psychologist or psychiatrist to get a diagnosis. Tell them you want them to diagnose you and do a full work up/intake.
Legal ramifications: you don't have disclose your illness to anyone. You don't have to disclose it to an employer unless you need to ask for a reasonable accommodations for it. And I would not recommend telling your employer unless this is the case.
There are other implications here, but that's all I can pull out of my head for now.
