Help With Ocd/ocpd, Paranoia, Severe Internet Addiction, Bipolar Disorder.?
Question by bomboms: help with ocd/ocpd, paranoia, severe internet addiction, bipolar disorder.?
i know 100% i have ocd but what my other concern is and the things that my family and therapist has never bothered to looked further into even though i told them is that i have paranoia, i know the cause of it but i dont have enough characters to work with lol. this paranoia+ocpd(im not even sure i have ocpd) has stopped me from going to school for 7 months and many other times in the past years, and i have missed my gsces cause of it. im just saying this to let u know how serious it is and that im not joking. i need an official diagnosis of ocpd cause i just found out myself and im having doubts that i have it but everytime i read into detail about it i just totally relate to it. i mean my ocd rituals have gone i think, kind off anyways and all thats left is this. the main thing stopping me from living my life. i cant get an official diagnosis or anymore help cause i refuse to see the new psychiatrist now even though i need the help. i am 16 years old, is ocpd even possible in a 16yr?

Stop thinking you know what you have, you don’t. You can’t diagnose yourself, you’re not a psychiatrist. That itself is a sign of mental illness, but it’s for a doctor to diagnose, not a hypochondric teenager. Hyprochodriasis is definitely possible in a sixteen year old.
Good luck getting the treatment that is best for you.

OCPD is a personality disorder. Personality disorders cannot be diagnosed until at least 18 years of age. There are often signs of it before then, but it’s not ethical for a mental health professional to label someone with a personality disorder before then. It is believed that personality is not established before age 18 and sometimes it takes much longer.
I have had my share of horrible psychiatrists and therapists. I have OCD and mood issues. The trick is to keep on trying to find a good one and once you do, you will see how much it can help. It took me forever to find a good psychiatrist. Good therapists are fortunately a little easier to find.
I say good luck with all of this and don’t give up trying to get better. Don’t worry so much about what your diagnosis is. Worry about how to get better in the best way possible. When I’ve been at my worst I was so terrified I’d never improve, but so far I always have. Keep on trying!
