Realistically, what do you think is the percentage of doctors manipulate diagnosis for profit because it sounds like a boogey man.

  Most of them, but they don't consciously realize what they're doing in most cases. The norms for their profession slowly creep towards over-pathologizing because of the profit incentive and also because of the effectiveness of advertising campaigns by drug companies. Social norms have changed across a broad demographic to accommodate the large scale systemic misdiagnosis problem. Just because the manipulation for profit is widespread and well accepted does not mean it's not happening.

      I was only giving my personal opinion based on the data I've seen. All I'm really advocating here is that every person should educate themselves before accepting any diagnosis. Do your own research and form your own opinions.
