For the most part, yes. Like I definitely believe that I have OCD. I fit all of the criteria and was even hospitalized for it when it got out of control. I have also been diagnosed with ADHD by more than one professional, including following hours of neuropsychological testing. I believe that I have it.

Most recently however, I got a new psychiatrist. On her prescriptions, there is a place for her to write a diagnosis. She writes Bipolar II on it, but I have never been officially diagnosed. I have had mood disorder mentioned by multiple psychologists and I have been on a mood stabilizer for a while, but I don't think I was ever given a straightforward diagnosis. I'm not sure if I believe I have it.

It's hard because I feel like there are so many other factors to consider. I think that many diagnoses have symptoms that overlap. I also think that for instance, with ADHD, there is a fine line between giftedness, boredom, and inattention. I honestly don't think that it really matters though, what the name is, as long as the proper treatment is administered.
