Detailed Answer:
Hello and thanks for using HCM.

I have read your question and understand your concerns.

Of course it is possible for a person who exhibits health issues to be diagnosed if the condition arises from physical (organic) problems, or from mental problems.

Medical examination and diagnostic tests (blood tests, imaging etc.) are necessary for this purpose.

It is necessary to provide more information about your health problems in order to understand better your condition and provide you appropriate guide.

Hope you found the answer helpful.

Take care.
