Diagnostic Checklist Masterpost
As well as being found under the tag #diagnosticchecklist, here is a masterpost of all of the checklists I have made so far. This provides some basic information about different mental disorders and can be used as a tool for communicating your symptoms with your mental health provider. They may also be used to self-diagnosing purposes, though further research is recommended if you qualify for a diagnosis.
Keep in mind that you may still receive a diagnosis if you do not meet the minimum requirements. Also keep in mind that your experience with a mental disorder exists on a spectrum, and there is no One True Experience for having a mental disorder.
Note: If you are seeing a reblogged version of this, be sure to check the original post, because I will be updating this post as I create more checklists.

If you do not agree with a checklist, do not yell at me about it. All of this information is pulled from the DSM-5, so your beef is with the book and its writers, not with me. Stop messaging me yelling at me about how the DSM is horrible.
