It doesn't work that way unfortunately, the therapy I went through before I was diagnosed was much more intense than just reciting the list of symptoms and behaviours I could have picked out of a book. The therapy took weeks, months even, and I had to talk about specific examples in my life of times where I performed these things, and the therapist also spoke to my family about my behaviour and my family talked about things that I do. It's pretty intense, I don't think you could get time of work with a sick note/ doctor's certificate unless you were willing to invest your time in months of intensive therapy.
