I fear I have an undiagnosed mental illness.?!
Question: I fear I have an undiagnosed mental illness..?
I think I have a mental illness and I've had the symptoms for a long time. I didn't realise that they were abnormal, probably because I've had them for a number of years now.
I'm thinking of going to the doctor but I'm scared that won't believe me or laugh me out of the door as I'm only 17. What will he do.? I really want help with this but I'm scared to talk to anyone.
Any advice.?Health Question & Answer
