Online tests are screening tests only. They are not diagnoses.

If you have a concern about your symptoms, talk to your family doctor, or a psychologist, or a psychiatrist about them. They will be able to determine an accurate diagnosis and to recommend appropriate treatment.

First, you haven't asked a specific question.

Second, we do not provide diagnoses or treatment here. This is a support forum. If you're concerned about your symptoms and interested in helping yourself, you should see a doctor or counsellor or mental health professional. If not, I'm not sure I understand the point of posting this.

Mental illness is no different from any other physical illness and is often thought to be caused by a chemical imbalance in the brain, in the same way diabetes is a chemical imbalance in the pancreas. If you had chest pain, or a sore arm, would you avoid seeing a doctor?

You would be doing a disservice to yourself and to those who love you by not seeing a competent healthcare professional such as a family doctor at first with the possibility of a referral to a psychologist or psychiatrist if your doctor recommends it.

Please reconsider your plan in your own best interests. The internet is not the place to get a diagnosis. You can receive support and information, but not a diagnosis. You need to be seen in person by a doctor who can give you a proper examination and with whom you can discuss your concerns.
