  • Assessments For Healing or Hiding? | Shrinks & Giggles
    Feb 20 2026

    Why is everyone seeking a mental health diagnosis right now?
    And what actually changes when you finally get one?

    In this episode of Shrinks and Giggles, your favorite assessment psychologists break down the psychology behind the rise in ADHD, autism, personality disorder, and other mental health assessments.

    We explore:

    Why diagnosis feels validating (and sometimes life-changing)

    The difference between self-diagnosis and clinical assessment

    How labels can shape identity

    When a diagnosis helps — and when it can limit you

    If you’re considering an ADHD assessment, autism evaluation, or any psychological testing — or you’ve recently been diagnosed — this conversation will help you think critically and compassionately about what it all means.
