You can find a medical professional to basically claim anything these days. I could go into specifics, but there's a whole industry of ethically questionable doctors that can help you take advantage of well-intentioned accommodation policies with a subjective diagnosis. While I agree there are cases of serious stress disorders, there are also a bunch of people claiming a disorder for personal benefit.

Only you rich fuckers can get in with those shady doctors.

There's abuse of every system. So should we just quit doing anything?

Opioid epidemic disagrees that only the rich can get shady Rx written.

That fits my experience. All the rich kids I went to school with had doctors notes that gave them extra time on tests, or even let them take the test at home when everybody else had to take it in a proctored hall. They gloated about it too.

See my other comment on this very thing.

I suspect strongly that the people worrying about it being abused outnumber the actual instances of it being abused. I don't think there is rampant unchecked fraud.
