Hello Th3saurus,
Based on what I've heard and my own dealing with therapists (concerning depression), I don't think the intent of therapists is to confirm or deny a particular diagnosis. Rather, therapists will try to help you better understand what's bothering you and what you can do to improve your situation. You don't have to be in crippling distress to benefit from talking to a therapist. If you do decide to go to a therapist, I suggest going with an open mind.
