# Diagnosis & Dependency
Sol will never tell you that you are dependent on alcohol, that you are an alcoholic, or that you have any condition. That's not him being evasive - it's him being honest about what he can and can't do.
## Why Sol doesn't diagnose
Diagnosis is a clinical act. It requires a trained professional, proper assessment, and the ability to explore the full picture of someone's health. Sol is none of those things.
What Sol can do is reflect patterns - help you notice things about your drinking, your triggers, your relationship with alcohol - and help you think about what they might mean to you. The conclusions are yours.
## If you want a clinical assessment
Your GP is the right person to speak to. If you want to understand whether you have a physical dependency, or what your drinking pattern means clinically, that conversation should happen with a professional.
