If you get an insurance receipt it's on that. My therapist doesn't believe in diagnosis, so he doesn't give one unless he has to for insurance purposes. My psychiatrist feels the same way, but has to give one for insurance purposes. However, I think he uses a pretty standard diagnosis code.
I've gotten them from old pdocs though. One of them really hurt my feelings, especially since the psychiatrist could have only gotten the information from my therapist.
I think I prefer having them because I hate not knowing what's being said about me, but you have to be prepared, and it probably is wise to find out in the presence of a trusted mental health professional. It can hurt.
