instead of going into an eval trying to get a specific diagnosis, it’s best to write down a list of the ways your symptoms interfere with your life and let professionals decide what category fits them best or what specialist could help you determine a diagnosis best. not only is it a better way to receive appropriate care and avoid unintentional bias, but healthcare professionals are more likely to take you seriously than if you were to essentially show up and tell them how to do their job.
