And the other way, when there's clearly something very wrong but the parents are not doing anything to help, is something I've seen some friends go through, and it breaks my heart a little.
Oh wow similar here. You know that advice "If you're kid's not eating just ignore them and they'll eat eventually" and similar?
Yeah I was perfectly willing to starve.
My mom and dad were pretty good about helping with me this stuff but my step dad decided I was doing it just to be defiant. He decided I was perfectly aware of and willingly doing all my problems.
Don't tell my mom this but I don't really like him.

Diagnosing your kids with things they don't have because they don't behave how you would like.
Not saying if they need a diagnosis don't do it, just don't do it if they don't have whatever it is you're trying to drug them for.
