Diagnosing Cont.

With a basic understanding of the advantages and disadvantages of diagnosing in psychology, I do think diagnosing people is a good idea but to be cautious when doing it. Diagnosing someone is a serious thing to do because when someone is diagnosed, it can consume their life. Being sure the diagnosis is accurate is so important. Considering things such as family history, substance usage, side effects of drugs, and their health is all so important. Also, using different techniques for diagnosis such as clinical interviews, questionnaires, etc are helpful and important. People like to receive help (in most circumstances) when they are diagnosed and diagnosing them can overall be beneficial for them. In conclusion, I do think diagnosing people is important but to be cautious when going about it.
