    It has nothing to do with how well you can read a book. People are not good at self-judgement. It is very common that people under or over estimate themselves. It is easier to have an outsider make a judgement. I am convinced that you put pretty much zero thought into your comment. Maybe: try to think

      Here’s a thought for your thinker: your self evaluation only needs to be better than the world worst psychiatrist to be just as valid.

        No shit. Thats why you find someone credible, not some random dope who doesn’t know much.

          No shit

          So then you agree that people’s self diagnosis are valid, because shitty doctors can diagnose and those are valid.

            I think their point is a shitty doctors diagnosis is just as invalid as self diagnosis, not the other way around. A misdiagnosis can be more harmful than no diagnosis. A diagnosis isn’t valid just because a doctor told you so, it’s valid if it’s correct.
