This is NOT what medicine is for. As someone who truly cares about science, I find it worrying that the "pro-science" team on Reddit is more than happy to attend a clinician in search of a diagnosis in mind. These are the same people that will lambast their offenders for supposedly "using Google for research LOL" because they don't agree with their increasingly turgid hivemind experts.

For any Redditors on this site looking to this comment for "content", I would like to know how likely you think a doctor is to reach a proper diagnosis both with and without client manipulation. I see this on ADHD forums as well. I'm diagnosed ADHD, but I go without meds because I tried them and didn't like them very much. I see posts all over reddit and on every local forum where people "suspect" that they have ADHD and need meds, so they ask very very nicely which doctors in their local area are likely to sign away "schedule 1" addictive drugs with little questioning. Reddit is full of hedonistic drug addicts, it's their target demographic.
