This is still the case. I've had ongoing neurological and digestive problems for years now, and each primary physician or neurologist I see has been hesitant to run tests let alone attempt to diagnose what's going on. So they labeled it as "stress" which made me feel like I was crazy for a very long time. Paradoxically this caused me a great deal of stress. I ended up seeing two different mental health specialists - one with experience in somatic disorders - that concluded (after months of therapy) it's not a psychological problem. There's so many experiences reported in MS and other neuro-based communities online where people were given the stress and anxiety label only to be diagnosed months, years, and sometimes decades later with an actual illness like MS. I feel truly bad for people that have the extraordinarily rare diseases because chances are slim they'll find someone to actually investigate beyond the standard textbook procedures.
