It’s not just Swedish doctors. I was put on psychiatric medication for what turned out to be as simple as allergies and lactose intolerance.

In my experience unless you’re paying through the nose, you have to be pitiable/attractive enough for the average doctor to buy into your case enough to make a complex (or even simple with unusual symptoms) diagnosis. No different to any other profession ultimately we just put them on a pedestal because the studies are so intense.
