Is it just me, or does everyone seem to self-diagnose these days?
It really pushes my buttons when people are all "I'm dyslexic"...no, you just can't spell.
Sure, there really are people who are genuinely dyslexic, but the majority of said "dyslexics" have diagnosed it themselves.
The same thing can be said with depression. Every second person is depressed, and while it can be said that depression has become more socially acceptable, I think that it is extremely misdiagnosed and moreover, over-diagnosed.
The worst about self diagnosis, though, is when people have a bit of a headache and a slightly ticklish throat, and when they google their symptoms, they end up deciding that they're dying of meningitis.
