Self Diagnosis?

Question

Could anyone give me a good website with a more accurate test for diagnosing oneself with mental disorders? They run in my family and i know for a fact there's something wrong with me but want to find out exactly what it is.

Answer 1

This website has different tests for disorders that you can take online. Any results, however, should be discussed with your physician. Perhaps print your results and bring them to your appt to discuss.

I wish you well!

Answer 2

In order to properly care for yourself, you need to simply talk to a therapist about this. They are there to help you, diagnose, support you. It's really never a good idea to self diagnosis whether it's mental or physical. This is what psychologists and doctors are for, as they are trained and have the education, experience, and their observations will be much more accurate. If you need treatment, they would provide this for you to help you. The more your reading up on disorders, it's likely that you might think that you are a little bit of everything, which wouldn't be true.
Go talk to someone. Make an app. as a gift to yourself.
God bless you and Merry Christmas

Answer 3

If you seriously are this concerned, I would recommend that you seek out the advice of a professional. On-line tests are not always accurate and if you believe you have a diagnosis based on an on-line result, you have no way to obtain treatment or to be counseled. If you do end up with a diagnosis and want to better understand it, here's a website that helps you get help to break down the DSM IV (Diagnosis and Statistical Manual for Mental Illnesses) to be understood by the lay person.

1. I have been diagnosed with different disabilities. I once self diagnosed with ADD and it turned out I was actually diagnosed with it in 4th grade. I was even diagnosed with a language processing disorder. I no longer do self diagnosing since it's the doctor's job and I could be wrong. 2. I think it depends on why the person is going for a diagnoses. I think mine was important because I was still in school and I needed help and my mom didn't fully understand me. She didn't know what I had and knew I had something but didn't know what it was. But the bad part is it keeps you from getting health insurance and joining the army. 3. I see everyone as normal and no different. My thoughts don't change when I hear they have something wrong with them. But I do believe some abuse things like spending less money for a bus pass when they can afford the whole thing or trying to cut in lines at Disneyland or Disney World just because they have that privilege for people with disabilities. 4. I don't understand why some feel the need to wave their label around. I think some put it in their signatures on the forum because they want to be understood better and not be mistaken as a troll or be seen as stupid and uneducated. I don't take the self diagnosed as seriously because I know for a fact they may not have what they claim to have and they think they do.

Answer 5

First, figure out your symptoms. I don't really know any websites for self-diagnosis, but I can tell you for a fact that I had to have three doctors tell me I was depressed with a panic disorder before I actually realised I had both.
My symptoms of depression were no sleep, crying for no reason, and always leaning on friends and family to solve my problems. My panic disorder came when I couldn't sleep. I would hyperventilate, cry, shiver uncontrollably, and my teeth would chatter while I wouldn't be cold at all. I hope this helps, I also hope you don't have either of these problems.

Answer 6

That's not a good idea. Alot of times physical disorders (such as thyroid problems) can present with significant mental symptoms. You need to see a doctor and have a complete physical examination to rule these disorders out.

Answer 7

You should really leave any kind of diagnosis regarding oneself and especially one's mental health up to a professional.
