Title, basically. I know I have issues, but I couldn't say if it's depression, ADD, or just general problems. Is the only reason to have a diagnosis so you know what to work on, or are there other benefits such as easier access to therapy?

My question is meant specifically for Canada, but feel free to chip in from other countries. :)

You can get help for your problem, mate. You can request accommodations at work or school. If needed, access to prescriptions. Maybe a way out of military conscription, or a defense in court if your crazy ass does something especially heinous.

Plus there is the validation that this isn't just feeling blue or being hyper or whatever, it's actually a thing and you should treat it like a thing.
