To an extent--yes. It's very difficult to differentiate the difference between certain mental illnesses. Someone desperately searching for an answer who is suffering from anxiety might consider themselves OCD, which most likely isn't the case.
After months of living in such a gloomy state, I was able to diagnose myself with depression and FINALLY got help. Being as mentally unstable as I was back then, I think it's very important to be cautious when treading those waters... we all react differently to reality--or to what we may thing "reality" is. If that makes any sense.
