Can I find out if I have any medical condition online?

[Anonymous]

Im not talking like physical medical condition but more mentally, I have anxiety and paranoia aswell as I think other things and I'm wondering if there's a conditioni have, I hope I don't but if I do I'd like to find out what and I'm well not scared of seeing the doctor but my anxiety is holding me back from going, I do want to see the doctor as I'm hoping they can recommend a therapist but like I said for for the moment my anxiety is holding me back.

As @Sun_Kim-Ai said; trying to look it up online will only make things worse, and feed your anxiety.

I'm sure if you look hard enough, you could probably find out you've got half a dozen symptoms of ovarian cancer, which is obviously impossible, but my point is that anxiety can convince you of anything.

Your best bet is to make a detailed list of the symptoms you do experience, and find a qualified doctor with which to discuss your concerns.

Looking online will only make your anxieties worse, trust me.

Yeah I've heard, I just figured a it's not a physical medical illness and just more mentally I thought it might be ok

I got diagnosed with anxiety and prescribed medication over the phone. Maybe that is an option for you? I did a phone consult because I needed something sooner rather than later and an in person's dr appointment would have taken weeks. Trust me its so worth it. Medication is life-changing

You can’t make any official diagnoses without a medical degree
