Do you think I have a mental disorder?!


Question: Do you think I have a mental disorder!?
I will be twenty next month, I have been on antidepressants before!. When I ran out I didn't go back for another prescription!. My father is on the same medication I was taking!. My aunt is Bipolar, another aunt and a few of my cousins are clinically depressed and one of my cousins is autistic!. So mental disabilities/depression runs in my family!. I have heard mental disorders are genetic!.

What I really want to know is why when I encounter a problem in my relationship (we've been together for a year), it seems like it takes over my life!. I think I have mini panic attacks!. One minute I'm fine and optimistic and the next minute I start crying and I feel like I don't have control of my life!. I feel like I'm going to ruin my relationship if this keeps up!. I get so emotional and nothing makes sense and I get so frustrated!.

I have a really hard time falling asleep!. I get mad and snappy quite easily!. I like things my way (who doesn't though)!. I hate not knowing how the future will turn out!. Thoughts keep racing through my mind!. I'm stressing out and it's affecting my school!. (I've always been a good student, A's and B's) I haven't even been able to concentrate on homework or get anything done!. All I do is worry and have anxiety!. So when I start stressing I go shopping and spend money because it makes me feel better!. Or I eat too much!. (I'm not fat because I don't do that all the time, I'm generally healthy) Is this normal!? I don't feel like it is!. I've decided to go to the doctor tomorrow!. Do you think I'm bipolar!? Or depressed!? Or do you think I have anxiety!? Or anything else I haven't heard of!? Please give me advice!. Www@Answer-Health@Com


Answers:
If your doctor doesn't tend to "overprescribe" (plain exercise often works as well or better than many anti-depressants, according to studies), it sounds like you're making a good choice!.

well you obviously have some type of anxiety issue!. it sounds like you may be bipolar but hard to tell from what you said!. I would avoid a regular doctor because all they do is prescribe you drugs!. i would go to a therapist or psychologist!. they are more equipped for these type of issues, deal with the problem through counseling, plus if necessary they can give you drugs!. i think in your case you may still need drugs but maybe you need something different or a different dosage!.
