There seems to be an increasing trend of self-diagnosis or amateur diagnosis of others. There was recently an article about a trend on TikTok where people present their "alter egos" claiming to have multiple personality disorder, which is not only incredibly rare but may not even be real (at least in the way people presented it, usually exactly as its portrayed in popular fiction).
You also see it with countless of people claiming to have ADHD, bipolar disorder or other actual diagnosable diseases which are not common in the general population.
