How can a doctor diagnose me with bi polar and adhd without any solid proof?

Charles asked:


Like I know pretty much for fact I’m ADHD but…
I read what people with bipolar act like, I can’t ever see myself in the past present or future ever acting like that.

I don’t take medication for anything, and I’m perfectly fine so why do I get this label?
If you saw my title you’d know I said the doctor diagnosed me with bi polar and adhd, not that I diagnosed myself.

      A regular GP or family doctor is not trained to make such diagnosis. To get a proper diagnosis you need to see a psychiatrist. Do not allow yourself to be a label until someone who is qualified tells you so and if in fact you are diagnosed with either of these conditions, please remember that they are illnesses, not labels and are treatable.
