I emphasize the importance of understanding where diagnostic data may go and how it could potentially be used against individuals, as I've personally experienced negative consequences, such as being denied life insurance. While I support self-determination and encourage clients to seek diagnoses for validation or accommodation purposes, I also stress the need to be transparent about the potential implications. I recommend that we only include such diagnoses in medical records if explicitly requested by the individual after discussing these risks. Ultimately, I want to ensure that clients are fully informed before making this important decision."}
