OF COURSE YOU WERE DIAGNOSED WITH SOMETHING. DUH.
The diagnosis of the condition must be made by an appropriately qualified medical practitioner. This includes a general practitioner or a psychiatrist. Where the appropriately qualified medical practitioner is not a psychiatrist, the diagnosis must be made by a general practitioner with evidence from a clinical psychologist.
Supporting evidence for the DSP claim can include professional or clinical reports but can also include advice from the general practitioner that the person has been seen by a clinical psychologist or a psychiatrist who made or confirmed the diagnosis or provided evidence in support of the diagnosis.
My private psychologist did not diagnose me with PTSD or depression. His report, which I have actually seen because I had to include it when I was applying for Disability Support, did not mention anything about PTSD or depression. The only reason I even mentioned those two things is because I faked them for the government-appointed psychologists, so I am only assuming they think I have it. I haven't seen their report though, so I don't know for certain.
