Doctor gave me wrong diagnosis?

We Answered:

Sounds like Keratosis Pilaris. That's just a protein build up in your skin. It's harmless, mostly just unsightly. Try to scrub them and pop them to get rid of as many as you can, then keep your skin moisturized. I have it on my triceps, and they get worse during the winter when my skin is dry.

Diagnosis online hahha?

We Answered:

How often are you eating vegetables that are rich in iron? Broccoli is a good one, dark green leafy vegetables, beans with tomato sauce, etc. Vitamin C helps to absorb the iron as well, try drinking orange juice when you take your pill.
Are you eating dairy/eggs? If you are not, you may be vitamin B deficient as well. Although I'm not a vegetarian, I started taking a liquid/ sublingual B-vitamin supplement and I feel a lot more energy. I think the brand I take is Nature made, and B-12 is absorbed best through your blood stream, which is why I chose the sublingual kind.
At this point, it's probably best to have your iron levels rechecked to see where you should go from here.

i think i might have ADD, but i'm too scared to go to my family doctor for diagnosis. what should i do?

We Answered:

If you fit the criteria for this then you NEED to see your doctor (even if he is really bad). If you can prove your ADHD to him then he will diagnose/ refer you. Trust me life is SO much better when you are on appropriate medications (if you need them) and you know whats wrong with you. for now just write a list of all the things you need to do and decide at what times you will do them (eg. 5:00 - work on _____ assignment, 6:00 - do ______ homework, 6:30 - free time) and buy yourself an alarm watch so you don't loose track of time.

This is the ICD-10 criteria - The DSM-IV is used in the USA but with that a diagnosis is 3-4 times more likely (in my opinion this is why ADHD is over diagnosed in the USA)

Online Mental Diagnosis/Evaluation?

We Answered:

WebMD has a some good ones. It all just depends on what mental disorder you think you have. I'd do a Google search for some.

Say you think you have a mental disorder called XYZ do a search for:

XYZ online screening evaluation.

here is another good one, www.depression-screening.org. this is a link to their depression screening test: http://www.depression-screening.org/screeningtest/screeningtest.htm

i actually did a screening on WebMD for Social Anxiety Disorder, I printed out the results and talked to my doctor, he referred me to a Psychiatrist and the Psychiatrist gave me a screening almost exactly like the one i took on webmd, and he asked a couple questions. he diagnosed me with SAD. good luck in your search though, hope some of these helped!
