Shared a good article about this below. You can see the bias crop up in the comments here unfortunately. I would say there are as many uninformed opinions on here as there are with people on TikTok self-diagnosing themselves with a mental illness.

It is quite sad. I personally know that being diagnosed with depression when you have ADHD instead is debilitating. It feels like nothing will fix you. But then with an ADHD diagnosis it was much easier to be present in the world.

“…diagnostic errors cause 40,000-80,000 deaths in the US alone…”

If it’s as high as 80,000 per year, that would be about the same as U.S. automobile and gun-related deaths combined.
