What mental illness could I have?!

Question: What mental illness could I have?

I am 22 years old and my memory is really bad I cant retain information, I am forgetting the names of objects, I get confused. I am deprived of thoughts or poverty of thought meaning I have no thoughts in my head I am a blank page when someone asks me something nothing comes to my head I have a hard time thinking my mind is empty and numb I cant explain the world around me becaus eI get confused and forget the names of objects. I dont have insurance so I am unable to see a doc right now I had a ct scan,mri and an eeg 5 months ago and they all came back normal I also saw a psychiatrist and was put on meds but cant afford to see him the meds worked for confusion but not for my memoy. I just started a new job through a temp agency and I font think I will be able to hold it because of my problems with my mind. I lift weights, and run, and take vitamins. I was unemployed for a year on two seperate occasions and did nothing but watch tv and i have never been the same. is it possible my brain shrunk and brain cells died from the sedentary lifestyle? Please I need help and advice as to what it could be. I know I am really young but it is getting worse I feel like I deteriorate more every day.

Answers:

Shredder, you don't strictly need insurance to be treated for conditions such as what you may have. In situations like yours, there are agencies that can help you.

Get down to your county (or city) mental health agency and see someone there. Tell them about your condition and tell them your financial situation and they will ensure you see their own psychiatrists and get help in obtaining the medications you need.

If you can't seem to find the right agency to go to for this in your county or city, then contact the National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI) at this web address:
www.nami.org

Click on the button that says "Find Your Local NAMI" and they will help connect you with an agency that will tell you where to go to get help.

You can also call their information number:
1 (800) 950-NAMI (6264)

Shredder, in answer to your question, it sounds a bit like schizophrenia, but only a psychiatrist can tell that for sure. There are GREAT medications for this, so do NOT panic! Yeah? Just get down to the county mental health agency and you will be taken care of, for sure.

Hope this helps!
