Medicine is funny that way; if you allocute to taking some sort of medication then they will readily extrapolate that to a diagnosis. For example, my PCP had recently prescribed me some meds for no good reason. She had not ruled out other causes of a thing and she lied about the lack of side effects, so the prescription was written. Then when I entered the hospital within a few weeks, I informed them of the prescription and they immediately placed on my chart a diagnosis for the thing treated by that drug. I am confident that I do not have, and never had, the disorder they "diagnosed" me with. The hospital ran no tests and was frankly incapable of such a diagnosis on their own, so the only information they used was my verbal assertion that I was taking this drug. They didn't even see proof from my PCP. So be very careful about what you fill out in those medical histories, and be careful with your releases of HIPAA information, because they will get extrapolated and haunt you for a very, very long time.
