Fake medical diagnoses for everyday problems, in a straight clinical voice

Untreatable is a satire site posing as an institute for incurable conditions. You describe what you are going through in plain English and it returns the closest fake diagnosis, written like a patient file. Think too many open browser tabs, or a seven-month relationship with someone who liked one story. You can also diagnose a friend and send them the shareable card.

Our verdict

This is a quick laugh and a good group-chat grenade. The writing keeps a deadpan clinical register all the way through, which is what makes the diagnoses land. Use it to name a habit, diagnose a friend or just read the sample conditions. Nobody should treat it as health information, and it does not pretend to be.

Why we like it: The voice never breaks. Every condition reads like a real case note, and the shareable card makes it easy to send one to the person it describes. It takes no account, email or payment, and there are no ads in the way of the joke.

The catch: Every condition is invented, which the site says plainly. It is a joke generator, not a symptom checker, so it will not tell you anything useful about a real health worry. See an actual clinician for that.
