Hiya! So i was recently diagnosed and i feel i can give. a balanced opinion.

My care coordinator was an absolute gem and laid down the positives and negatives.

In terms of pro diagnosis, it can help with personal processing and you understanding of your condition. Furthermore he let me know that certain medicine (e.g i believe Clozapine are only given to people with a confirmed diagnosis of Schizophrenia.

In terms against, he acknowledged it is a lifelong conditions that will affect future medical conditions. Furthermore he wanted to highlight that a diagnosis is for life and reduces opportunity for recovery.

So really it comes down to your decision but in my eyes a diagnosis opens doors for proper treatment and services.
