A professional is simply someone who has formally qualified in a certain area.

A non professional can diagnose and be perfectly correct, but there is more chance of them being wrong.

So, it’s a good idea to consult a professional, who would be expected to know.

However, even a professional can be wrong. My GP disagreed with my psychiatrist.

I guess two opinions are generally better than one, but, at the end of the day, you have to make your own decision based off hopefully good advice.
