Talk to the specialist?
Hi,
Let me start by saying I mean to cause no offense to anyone here on from my words. I don't like the stigma that can be around mental health.
I'm new here and well I thought I'd ask for opinions or help.
I have I dunno what kind of mental illness now. I'm going to see a psychiatrist and be diagnosed. It won't happen the first session will it. Does asking me questions answer with a diagnosis. Can it change a day later because my answers won't be the same.
Well my main thing I am worried I don't trust and I dont want to tell a psychiatrist "everything." "Important things" that would help to find out what mental illness I might have.
I was diagnosed when I was 7 (I'm now 31) with having ADHD boarding on the line of Bi Polar. I've gone through many traumatic experiences since I was 7 and I'm thinking now I have paranoid schizophrenia.
I want answers and help but I don't want to talk. As u can see here I am a talker... so if I not give examples but say things happens like conversations with voices. That's talking right.

Hello @Ele092
You are welcome here, and I do hope you dont experience any more trauma or stigma re mental health.
Diagnosing is a medical thingy and we are encouraged to seek professional help, but underneath it all, we are just human beings. That is the way I prefer to see people regardless of colour, creed or labels.
Take Care
