Huh, not that it comes up often but there are doctors who don’t. One of my kids has this issue and they’ve always seemed receptive

I suspect there’s some skepticism recently because a sort of Internet subculture developed around it being “cool” and some folks are adopting it as an affectation, and further prizing a diagnosis as real cred. So some people are shopping mental health professionals in pursuit of a diagnosis for that subculture.

When I read things like that I wonder who is mischaracterizing what. It seems like many mental issues are things that are normal to a degree, but very different scale from being diagnosed with the corresponding mental disorder.

When it comes to doctors, they generally only know their own specialty, and even then within specialties you will have disagreement or poorly trained professionals. And also, this is just a personal bias, I wouldn’t expect any doctor to hold any modern opinion about psychological conditions. You need to see a psychologist for that.
