Self diagnosis


Self diagnosis is the process of diagnosing medical conditions in oneself, regardless of medical knowledge or a medical license. It may be assisted by medical dictionaries, books or resources on the Internet (cyberchondria), and is sometimes prompted by encountering the condition in question in others (folie à deux).

Healthcare professionals warn that self diagnosis in the absence of professional advice is prone to error and may be potentially dangerous if inappropriate medication is taken.
