I didn't say they belonged in a psych ward, i'm just saying there seems to be an awful lot of people claiming to have some form of mental disorder which is a bit sketchy if they're self-diagnosed.
Some things like depression and ADHD cannot be self-diagnosed, for sure. Phobias are easy to self-diagnose, and I have some of those, too.

I have Asperger's Syndrome, so I have pretty much no sympathy for anyone, which is exactly why I didn't cry when I heard the news about the shooting in CT...
 
I freak out when people touch my hair. Idk what it is but it doesnt feel normal >>

You just don't like random creepy people touching your hair. It may be something if you're EXTREMELY scared of people doing it.. but other than that.. it doesn't sound like anything.

Exactly.
All these people claiming to have aspergers or really any kind of disorder ..really need to get diagnosed by a specialist before they claim that they have it.

Sooo, how many people here saying they have a disorder has actually been through therapy and/or got diagnosed by a doctor who specializes in mental/personality/anxiety disorders?

Yep, I've been professionally diagnosed with social anxiety disorder,dysthymia(mild chronic depression), and as Shiro to Kuro said Phobias are easy to self-diagnose. I only have 2 phobias.
I'm currently in therapy, I've been getting a lot better.

Yes. I have Aspergers, it's officially diagnosed, and not self-diagnosed.

However, because many people act like they have Aspergers and because many people make fun of it, people sometimes think I'm making it up and that it's self-diagnosed.
