- Consult a professional: Schedule an appointment with a mental health professional, such as a therapist, psychologist, or psychiatrist. They can conduct assessments and provide a diagnosis based on your symptoms and history
- Be honest: During your sessions, be open and honest about your thoughts, feelings, and experiences. Providing accurate information can help your mental health professional make an accurate diagnosis.
