I kinda enjoy seeing people freak out about the Adderall shortage. Oh wow, you have a totally real disease where the main symptom is that work is boring? And your pharmacy ran out of amphetamines? So you’ll just have to power through like the rest of us?

I mean you can't measure the symptoms directly but ADHD has been identified from just MRI scans.
You can say it's overdiagnosed but you don't seriously think it's entirely fake do you.

That'd put it in a category with things like fibromyalgia, long COVID and Chronic

When I was an EMT, we were told we can’t test for malingering and that we should always just believe their complaints. Like, if you suspected someone was faking being unconscious, you aren’t supposed to lift their arm and drop it over their face to see if they move their arm out of the way. I suspect that a lot of healthcare has followed suit.

My dad was a cop and people would pretend to be unconscious in the cells all the time. He used to do the pen test, i.e jabbing them in the eye with a pen and seeing if they reacted or not.

Not to be that guy
but you can't exactly "measure" most mental disorders. Okay maybe with IQ you can measure how r-slurred someone is, but that's about it. You can't exactly measure how anorexic some b-word is, or how much some dude wants to cut himself 
. This means that most disorders are observed. This isn't really a problem in theory, since actual doctors do a lot of observing too 
. But in practice, psychologists & psychiatrists have never actually been good at observing. All the way from beating and lobotomizing aspies 
to benzos for single moms

I think you misunderstand the point. It's not that there are no fake illnesses, it's that most mental issues can't be "measured", so it's just a silly gotcha that makes no sense. The fake illnesses need to be filtered out by the professionals in question, not disqualified because they can't be "measured".

My point is that you tried to prove your fake problem was real by comparing it to other fake problems, which is appropriate because they're all in the "made up for free drugs" category of disease.

I get migraines
they make me want to slam head into wall until it stops
ngl I've slammed my head into a wall a few times and the adrenaline of "what the frick did I just do" and "is this how it ends? will i accidentally kms?" made the pain go away for a few seconds
What helps is: Consistent caffeine, no panda express or over-processed breads, wearing glasses, breathing exercises, "managing stress" which means not grindmaxxing and instead relaxing some every day and getting more than 8 hours of sleep
(very hard to accept)

Have an IRL conversation with me and it's pretty obvious.
If you want to measure something, measure the amount of topics I hit to make a simple point. Measure how long I can sit in a room before I start wandering around, taking things apart. Measure how long I can sit there before I start drumming out the music I hear in my head. Measure the emotional response to distractions or an abrupt change in task.
Now, with this data... Consider if/how these things negatively effect my life. If that negative effect is strong enough, then I have ADHD
This is how mental health diagnosis works.
