how can i be sure that the long enduring problems ive had for years, are not to do with a mental illness? im 29 & for over 10 years ive had problems with feeling inner anger and rage towards people, high levels of panic & anxiety when i go out, paranoid feelings, racing thoughts all the time, worrying & obsessing over things constantly, i used to explode with anger when out, & get into staring, i stay in all the time now because i worry about losing control...recently a psychiatrist told me he doesnt feel ive got a mental health problem but a personality disorder, dysfunction, he said the therapy i would get would be psychological and not any medication because i didnt have a mental illness...but im not 100 percent confident about that...my fear is that could i have a mental health issue thats being overlooked that requires medication??..meanwhile my quality of life is non existant, i stay in every day wishing i had a life and happiness & a job & girlfriend, i cant see that happening
