This resonates with me. I spent a couple of years convinced that my awkwardness, lack of social skills and depressive episodes was some sort of undiagnosed Aspergers-like condition. In the end, over a 6 month period I moved house, got a new job, gained the current Mrs North and forced myself into some social situations which would not be a big deal to most people, but terrified the life out of me at the time. Getting shagged probably made the most difference.

There are people who genuinely need medical help for their conditions but a little bit of responsibility for your own well-being can go a long way.
