The medical certificate doens't require that.

If one has been diagnosed with the condition, then by all means report it.

There is no metric which asks if the applicant has ever met the criteria as spelled out in the DSM. How would the applicant know? The applicant isn't expected to stipulate to a condition for which he isn't qualified to diagnose.
