Title: i want to see a doctor to see if i have a mental illness...
Post by: moonwolf101 on October 22, 2015, 09:54:46 PM
(For those of you that do have one, please don't take any offense!)

Most of my life I have been told I have mental illnesses, but I ignored the thought because I never felt as if i did. And a few weeks back it happened again, and I took some thought into it this time. I'm mostly told I have schizophrenia, but lately I have been feeling depressed and suicidal. And I don't want to just say I want to have a diagnosist test, because I don't want to worry anyone (my family is already going through tough times). So is there any online, professional tests that can tell me if I have a mental illness? I just want to be sure, because I don't really like being told I do, and I just want to be sure (better safe than sorry right?) So thanks in advance, and again I apologize if this offended anyone.

Really the best thing to do is see a doctor in person. Most tests say they are 'professional', but any real professional will tell you that you can't just take a test and match up symptoms.  :P
