The parent says that they themselves had reservations about having a diagnosis associated with whatever problem they had. I merely pointed out the negative side of the coin ("wasted money") if over diagnosis is the case here (which considering the recent threads on the topic and author's own previous doubt seemed probable to me). I mentioned the author ("you") as the responsible party, because that's what needs to be considered. Otherwise it is easy to defer blame to "the system" and absolve oneselfs from personal responsibility.
More importantly, though, is a spirit-of-the-law place, not a letter-of-the-law place, so if you're asking for specific rule citations about a comment which obviously was not in the intended spirit of the site, we're already off track a bit.
I’m plenty capable of policing my own moral failings thank you very much.
Part of the problem is the medical system doesn’t have great language around this, I think in America in order for insurance to pay for therapy there has to be diagnosis. My therapists solution to that was to provide a diagnosis but we didn’t really lean into it, he just explained that’s the process.
But the language around diagnosis unfortunately has implicitly power. We probably should talk about mental illness much less that way.
