Self-diagnosis is valid if it helps you

Oh good, another doctor who thinks her own book, website, blog and youtube channel are an adequate substitute for professional, personalized care and diagnosis.

"It's really hard to get a diagnosis, so why even bother trying? Just like the video and hit the bell for notifications!"

She comes up a lot on my Threads feed even though I don't follow her and some of her takes are.. uh, iffy. I understand that some doctors actually want to help people, but there are far too many out there that seem like they're more interested in becoming some sort of famous guru. I wish more people took their advice with a grain of salt.
