Age and the practicality of seeking an assessment/diagnosis

I am 60. At what ages does there cease to be any practical point in seeking an assessment/dx? It's not as though I'm going to be able to reverse the damage of 4 decades of mistreatment is it?

    It really depends on why you want a diagnosis and what benefit you perceive from it. If you want it because it’s like an itch you can’t scratch and you need an answer then a self assessment would go a long way to getting to the itch. If however you want it for more practical reasons then it maybe worthwhile if the help you are hoping to access actually exists. That would be my take on it
