Yep, this isn't a playground. Keep the sand in the box, not using it to kick in other people's faces.

I want to say something regarding incorrect diagnoses. Like Dexter said, a lot of disorders have overlapping symptoms. Case in point - I saw my prescribing psychiatrist tonight. He originally considered adult ADD, but said we would treat the depression first. During the recheck today, I said that while I was taking the Ambien he gave me to get a good night's sleep I could function so much better during the day. He said prolonged lack of sleep causes problems with memory and concentration, just like ADD, and if treating the insomnia with a sleeping pill helps as much as a stimulant for ADD would, then let's treat the insomnia.

You can't always be 100% sure that what the quiz answers say you have is correct. You might also overly inflate your symptoms while taking the quiz, so you get "diagnosed" with that disorder. A diagnosis isn't so you have an excuse to be a jerk to people, it's so you get the proper treatment.
