Self-Diagnosis: How does it occur?

With the rising prevalence of mental disorders has come an increase in self-diagnosis of mental disorders. The increased availability of the internet has allowed the average person to access tools such as the DSM and disorder screening tools (RAADS-R, PHQ-9) that were previously unavailable to the public. With these tools, the average person is able to arrive at a working diagnosis for their suspected issue without a professional's input.
