multiple disorders

[electric7rocker]

so i think i have ocd, depression, and some kind of paranoia
and ive read up on them some
so do you think i could have them or am i just a hypochondriac?

Could you have all of them? I certainly hope not!

Reading up on these things can get pretty scary, b/c it can easily seem that you have all the symptoms. However, having a few things in common with a specific diagnosis doesn't mean you have the full blown disorder! It's prctically impossible to diagnose yourself, especially with anything you might find online.

If you're feeling out of sorts, then I agree with lithium's advice here, go tell a doctor, or counselor at school, or your folks, and see what they say, get a proper evaluation.

I agree with both sam and lithium and i too have multible disorders i have anxiety, OCD, and ADHD i have had me evaluated for adhd and anxiety but nmot ocd yet personaly im not sure if i really hae it my mom did but it wasnt very strong.

Um ocd ranges from really bad to being anoyying. My sister has minor ocd. its possible but depression, unless its bad, I don't think it's a disorder.

It is possible to have more than one disorder. However, you have to remember that a number of disorders can have similar symptoms and that, when reading symptoms online, it is easy to pull out a couple of events that vaguely fit and come to an incorrect conclusion. If this is really worrying you then get yourself to a psychiatrist.
