I actually do have aspergers and I have been diagnosed with depression, and I can say that honestly, it hurts my feelings that you don't believe that many (if any) of these people actually do have the symptoms of these. In fact, more people nowadays are beginning to realize that these diseases are more normal than we previously thought.
For instance; my family has had depression or anxiety in almost every generation since they imigrated here from Ireland in the mid 19th century. I am indeed taking fluoxetine to help me cope with my depression.
I have no qualms with telling you people this, because, having these doesn't make you any less of a person; in fact, it is the very thing that makes you human. And besides, even if they are lying, how does it affect you?
Is it normal to self diagnose mental disorders?
