How to Tell if You Have a Mental Disorder

It's surprising how often teenagers will consider themselves to have a mental disorder, and never look past that first thought. Or maybe, they just don't have the research skills and resources to tell just how existent, or nonexistent, the condition may be. But whatever the case, most of you will probably be relieved to hear that there's some sort of treatment available for nearly every mental disorder. The first step on the road to help, though, is first figuring out whether or not the thoughts and behaviors that have been toying with your head have a name attached. For this sole purpose, I had spent a great deal of time researching for and creating a quiz to help narrow down the possibilities. Unfortunately, I'm no quiz guru, and I was disappointed to see that I couldn't get the results to come out quite right. Instead, here's one that was made on Go To Quiz:

Of course, no Internet resource could ever give you a true diagnoses. The only purpose of the quiz is to give you a general idea of what you might have. There are probably plenty of conditions that weren't included (Most people do have a life after all). If you're seriously considering that you may have a mental disorder and the quiz contradicts your gut feeling, you should still consult a doctor as soon as possible.
