Questions about my mental diagnoses!!!?

When you go to the hospital they throw medicine at you to make you "better" without knowing if it's going to work for you. I suggest that you find a phsychiatrist that you feel comfortable with and have them help you with drug combinations that work for you. Borderline can't be treated with drugs but bipolar can be treated, as can anxiety, and depression so you might be able to find a drug for all three in just one pill. Go see someone you feel safe with and get their help.

Unfortunately, I understand AND believe you.  I have a hard-to-diagnose condition that took me 16 doctors and 15 years to resolve.\n\nMany doctors have such huge egos that they assume that if THEY don't know the answer, that there ISN'T an answer, and therefore it's "all in your mind."\n\nDon't put up with this poppycock.  Find another neuro whose knowledge base is bigger than his ego.

you should talk to your regular physician, so that they know what is going on as well; they can (if you sign release forms) provide information to your therapist that can help in diagnosis and treatment.  You can go to either a psychiatrist or psychologist (if you need to see someone else for diagnosis, treatment, etc. they will refer you).\nas for testing, there are many tests that are used to determine whether or not you have OCD, and to what extent you have it.  behavioral inventories are done, there are several versions of this, in which you simply answer questions such as "Do you find yourself checking things, such as door locks, frequently?" and "Have you ever thought about harming others?"  (these tests are used to diagnose many disorders, such as depression and ADD, so some questions may not apply to you, but will be helpful for your therapist to know).  an initial diagnosis can be made without these tests, especially if it is very obvious that you have OCD, but further testing is helpful to give a more complete diagnosis.  be sure to be truthful in all your answers, and ask questions about what the questions on the tests mean if you're not sure, as this is important in scoring them.\nGood luck on receiving help.

I know exactly what you're going through, i have ocd too. im not going to a psycologist or anything though. its like i cant stop thinking. i think the thing that usually helps me is to go out with friends, they help me feel better and keep my mind off things.

Hi noone.  Have I answered one of your questions before?\n\nMood disorders (Affective Disorders) have many known biochemical/physiological imbalances associated with them.  An excellent book is available that can teach you about many underlying abnormalities and how to successfully address them.  It is written by Sherry Rogers, M.D. and is called: "Depression Cured At Last!".\n\nThis is an incredible book with hundreds if not thousands of scientific references to support her points.  It is available at Amazon.com or from the publisher at 1-800-846-6687.\n\nIf you have the intelligence and motivation to find and fix the causes of your challenging brain disorder, then I highly recommend this book.\n\nBest wishes and good luck.

First of all, I don't really like to use the word crazy when describing a persons mental problems. Crazy is just a way that people describe others who they can't really understand, because they don't know the correct medical term. So here's my advice. Write down why you feel you are crazy. For example, hallucinations, paranoia, hearing voices, or what ever. Then head to your local library or search the internet and try to match your symptoms with that of a mental illness. After doing this hopefully you will feel more confident in yourself and possibly understand why you are feeling the way that you are. You might realize that your feelings are not out of the ordinary. However, if you are still concerned that you are suffering from a mental illness, I suggest for you to seek professional help. Rather it be a school counselor, or a hospital, or psychologist. If you find yourself truly concerned it's best to get a professional opinion. Stay strong, don't panic, and try to remain positive. There is help out there. Good Luck. :)

Doctor J is right. I don't know if you mean a physiological or psychological disorder. If it is mental health you are concerned with, try the following link. It will start you off with finding and getting help for mental disorders, in particular O.C.D., and give you a wealth of other information and options, as well.

It would be unethical for a psychiatrist to not tell you your diagnosis. What meds are you on? Based on what you said, you may have schizophrenia or bipolar with psychotic features. It's rare to have both Bipolar and Schizophrenia, as many symptoms overlap. However, if many people are telling you this and you generally trust them, then they are probably correct. Maybe see another psychiatrist and psychologist for a second opinion. Those disorders are largely neurologically based, so take the meds!

You could talk to yourself about your studies!  This is actually a good learning strategy.\n\nSeriously, if you think that you're doing something that really interrupts your quality of life, why not find a mental health professional to help you with it?

It is very clear that you desparately need psychotherapy and possibly mediation. In my oh-so-humble, non-medical opinion it sounds like you have schizophrenia.  Please, please, please go get help.  You need medication.
