It's insensitive/cruel to mock someone's diagnosis when you know next to nothing about the details.
There are larger arguments about overdiagnosis in the US, etc., which is all interesting, but if you're talking to an individual about painful experiences in their past, bear in mind that generalities cannot become rules.
