If you're not happy and you're not doing what you want, is your life considered impacted? Then certainly, almost everyone who's diagnosed with a disorder currently, is properly diagnosed =o

For it to be a disorder, it has to be disassociated from the order (the norm) but since so many people have these feelings or quirks (even excluding the ones who are wrongly diagnosed), I can't consider it a disorder. They're just people who feel bad for no 'apparent' reason (although it's apparent to me - I can give several reasons for why anyone may be depressed in a developed country) or they feel bad because they have quirks (OCD, SAD, ect)
