I guess experience depends. If positive diagnosis, is attached to some sort of compensations.

If psychiatry can sell you cheep medicine for a huge profit, they will overdisgnose.

If employer, institute, state, or university would have to pay compensations, they will under diagnose.

About 20% of US population went through horrible sexual abuse (documented fact). I would not discount the amount of people who have anxiety and PTSD from past events.
