What Mental Disorder Do I Have?
Question by : What mental disorder do I have?
I’ve done a lot of research and I can’t seem to find what I have… I have a doctors appointment soon I just like to know what to expect before hand. I often see things that aren’t there, and hear things as well. Not just in my house, everywhere. When I sleep, 9/10 I will have a nightmare, not a dream. Most of my nightmares tie into my current life situations, past experiences, and my fear for the future. When I wake up from the nightmare or dream, I have a hard time accepting that it was a dream. An hour or two later I completely forget what is real and what is not, I think that things in my dream or nightmare actually happened. I also make up a lot of scenarios in my head. I heard that that’s normal, but ill do it for about 2 hours a day, everyday. I have made up a full life in my head, a boyfriend, bestfriend, career. I heard I may be schizophrenic but I doubt that that’s true. If it helps, it’s been confirmed that I have clinical depression and anxiety, as well as add. Thank you so much!

Do as much research possible. A major reason why people take the drugs is because they think there’s a chemical imbalance
There’ no proof mental illness and chemical balance are linked. So there really isn’t a need to medicate other than to control your mood. So it is important to ask for alternatives and a type of counseling that will break things down for you so you can learn to make better decision on how to control your own mood.
“The chemical imbalance theory of mental disorders was disproven long ago”

“Chemical imbalance is one hypothesis about the cause of mental illness.”

This is where your mental disorders come from. The psychiatrist’s bible. Check out how a mental illness is decided into existed. They don’t prove anything is a disease they just vote what set of behaviors is a mental illness
” the decision to allocate one diagnosis or another to a patient is to some extent a matter of personal prejudice”
-psychiatrist Niall McLaren

Get a counselor that doesn’t believe in the medication. And will do the real work of helping you deal with your anxiety better. No matter what the meds do if you don’t do the real work of learning to not let your anxiety escalate you’re really not going to get anywhere. You don’t have a illness to manage for the rest of your life. You have you and your state of mind to manage all the time, its called living.
You should definitely see a real physical doctor to see if there’s nutrition problems or an underlying medical issue. If there’s a physical reason to why you’re so anxious that’s important to find out.

It does sound a lot like you have schizophrenia but then again so many mental health disorders share the same symptoms. A doctor will be able to diagnose it better.
good luck! x
