Are you concerned professionals may not be taking it seriously enough? Or do you think it may not be a true diagnosis and people (professionals and clients) may be manufacturing the diagnosis? Do you have any concerns over the legitimacy of the diagnosis? Remember, there doesnt seem to be many people using it to get out of criminal charges, so what might motivate a person to fake it?

The text you provided highlights a key difference between the Canadian and American healthcare systems:
- Canada: Universal healthcare funded by the federal government and delivered through provincial programs. This ensures basic medical coverage for all citizens. However, additional benefits may vary by province.
- United States: No universal healthcare. A mix of public and private insurers provide coverage, but there’s no guarantee everyone has it. This can lead to higher costs and unexpected medical bills for Americans.
