YK that moment when you stop self diagnosing not bc you found out that you weren't actually that or anything but bc you khow you will NEVER have the resources to find out if it is so what's even the point #selfdiagnosis #emo #givememoneyplese
Yesterday, I took an online version of the Adult ADHD screener (Self Report Scale, aka ASRS-v1.1).
It said that I show a high consistency in my scores for inattentive ADHD, and that I have a strong interest-driven focus pattern.
None of this was at all a surprise to me. I've been suspecting […]
Home tests, chatbots, and wearables are rewriting healthcare. They empower patients, save time, and improve early detection. But they’re not perfect.

Online mental health quizzes are everywhere, but most aren’t scientifically validated. Use PHQ-9, GAD-7, MDQ, ASRS, PCL-5, AUDIT—and treat results as a starting point, not a diagnosis. Full guide: l.natashatracy.com/quiz-vs-scre...

Not everyone had the privilege of a competent doctor. #SelfDiagnosis is valid.
Self-diagnosis is a double-edged sword: it can provide a framework to understand experiences & seek help, offering language for complex feelings as a first step towards clarity. #SelfDiagnosis 2/6
Whew!
I'm so relieved it was just a caffeine issue and not my entire nervous system imploding!

If anyone is interested in self-diagnosis in psychiatry, I have a bibliography of papers on self-diagnosis on my website and links to my podcast reviews of them. There are 51 papers listed, and I have reviewed 10 of them. #psychology #psychiatry #selfdiagnosis #philpsy
Part three of my attempt to review every paper published on self-diagnosis in psychiatry. Another four papers reviewed: #psychiatry #selfdiagnosis #psychology #STS #HPS

After RFK Jr. revealed his plans to register #autistic people, I hope we can put the issue to rest: self-diagnosis is not only valid, but preferable than putting our identity/neurotype in the hands of fascists and their collaborators.
#SelfDiagnosis
Remember:
- The expected amount of pain is none
- You have a right to understand yourself
- There is no shame in needing help

Reasons #SelfDiagnosis is valid ‼️
🌸 Not everyone has access to healthcare
🌸 Many conditions are misdiagnosed/underdiagnosed (Endometriosis, Ehlers Danlos Syndrome, Autism, and more)

Just to clear up a thing: you are going to continually see grown women come out as autistic, ADHD, or otherwise neurodivergent. Before you decide they're "just doing it for attention," I'm gonna tell you some things you don't know. 1. There is no social benefit to disclosing our autism. Literally none. People call us lists and talk about us behind our backs, or start treating us like children and think we're incapable of being adults. 2. Pursuing a formal diagnosis as an adult woman is expensive, and women are verifiably less likely to be taken seriously by medical professionals. So until the classism and sexism in medicine is fixed, you're gonna need to STFU and accept the self diagnosis of women. 3. As long as the only diagnostic model for autism is based on nonverbal, preschool aged,white boys, an enormous group of people with autism are not going to be correctly diagnosed. Until that changes, you're gonna need to STFU and accept the self diagnosis of marginalized people. 4. If you haven't picked up on it yet, I am an adult woman with autism. I'm autistic. And I'm fine with it. If you aren't, that's ok. Feel free to keep it to yourself. Happy autism acceptance month. If you want to ask questions, now is the time.
