Making a self-diagnosis, as well as labeling, can cause a variety of issues for an individual, especially a hypochondriac. A label will never define someone. Only one's experiences make up who they really are. Relying on a therapist or psychologist to make a diagnosis can cause more problems since they can misdiagnose and get people on medication that is not needed to make the condition worse (iatrogenesis). Therapy is primarily about learning to cope with symptoms as well as expressing one's emotions and hardships.
