People should be encouraged took seek advice and help if they suspect they have any kind of mental disability. It’s stigmatized as it is, to the point that many people actively shy away from acknowledging their condition, or, get concerned that they’re just overreacting, don’t really have the condition, and are instead some kind of faker/imposter, doing harm by putting demand on a care system that they feel other people are more deserving of, and generalising a serious condition.
If people suspect they need help, they should be encouraged to seek it. It’s not a contest and they shouldn’t feel ashamed.
I imagine it’s actually quite harmful.
