That is possible. But Portugal's citizenship requirement is a residency of six years, and in Italy ten years. To actually get there takes a lot of time and paperwork, and I might not actually start living there until I am 31 or 32. So I might be in my late 30s or early 40s if I did choose to get diagnosed after having obtained citizenship.

It is not really that important though, I suppose. With or without diagnosis, it is pretty clear that I have at least some part of that disorder, especially since my mother has it.

The reason why they want health records is because in Europe they have generous benefits. People with health problems might get questioned about their health status if the government thinks that they might overburden the universal healthcare system. When I was in the UK, I did use the health service on average around twice a month. But my health issues are not serious or anything, relatively speaking.
