I am worried because, when I was eight months old, I was diagnosed with Bacterial Meningitis, and then, two weeks before my twelfth birthday, I contracted viral encephalitis and was in the hospital for a week and was still experiencing complications in move ment for a week after. i wonder if there is any chance that I have a mental disorder that just hasn't surfaced yet.

Yes, meningitis/encephalits can cause brain disorders but considering that you are able to write and ask these questions tells me that you do not any side effects of the meningitis and encephalitis.

the answer is NO.
THIS MEANS THAT U MUST BE HAPPY that there will be nothing wrong, on the other hand u should not use those prior meningo-encephalitis as an excuse for falling into depression or any other mental illness.
