My fake dx was moderate depression and ADHD. One problem with that is after a while, I started to believe it. The other is that both those conditions are often treated with meds that sometimes caused me to go hypomanic when I didn't have a mood stabilizer in the mix and the doc didn't know to avoid SSRIs or too high of a stimulant dose.
