While there are lots of free “tools”, Mental Health videos and cheap health coaches online to help you try to determine your diagnosis, nothing is as reliable and valid as actual clinical testing performed by trained, licensed professionals. 

You wouldn’t diagnosis yourself with diabetes and start insulin, all  based on social media or an article you read, would you? So don’t do that to your mental health, either!
