Because many people can't afford a diagnosis or don't want to get an official one for fear it could be used against them.
Also finding other people that share your issues is incredibly comforting.
Also, if you're a teen, and your parents have unexamined problems or are abusive, they will not give resources to get pro help or might target you for mistreatment if you try.
There are plenty of families who have severe problems and desperately hide them and lash out at anyone trying to get help and fix it.
