Since there are so many different mild and fatal mental illnesses, most people probably have something wrong. Whether it's alzheimers, or ADD, or dylexia, if you're worried about your health you should see a doctor. He/she would know better than you or I!

There are many tests online which match symptoms to a disease. However, these are not always accurate. The best course of action would be to contact a mental health professional.
