There are also people who do have a disorder, but have reasons for not seeing a doctor about it. (Lack of funds, not expecting treatment to help, not needing treatment, etc.)
Do you mean "reasons" or do you mean "rational reasons"?
The opinion of someone who does have a mental disorder on whether treatment will help or is needed, that opinion is... suspect.
In this context, they don't have to be good reasons - my point was that a self diagnosis doesn't necessarily disagree with what a doctor would say if asked.
