Isn’t a psychiatrist supposed to diagnose you?

I mean really if you do have bipolar then even if you get the diagnosis, you’re still living the symptoms in the now. The diagnosis may seem scary (it 100% was for me) but it can help open up options of treating it better. All I’m saying is that if you do have bipolar then you already know the experience. idk if that helps
