Diagnostic labels can be self-fulfilling prophecies

Explanation:

Diagnosis is the medical word and psychology word which means the qualification of a professional in relation to an illness or physical or mental condition based on the observed symptoms. The diagnosis should take into account not only the symptoms but also the patient's medical history.

However, a diagnosis can often reveal incorrect information, in part because an individual's problems do not always have clear and measurable symptoms and the practitioner may be driven by his or her own ideologies in identifying a problem. For this reason, an argument used to end diagnostics is: "diagnostic labels can be self-fulfilling prophecies".
