I can't answer that without being a trained professional, but I can say, take what answers you get on the internet, and from mental health quizzes with a grain of salt. If this is about you, or someone you have concern for, seek professional help, and then seek a second opinion. You'll find a lot of computer desk psychologist online, and you're doing yourself more of a disservice by listening to this kind of help. You could say the same of my advice, but truly weigh, a and b. A, I suggest seeking professional help, or b, listen to some anonymous person online, instead of seeking help from people, who's job is to help and diagnose illness and problems, and are certified to do this from years and countless hours of research and work. Of course I still highly recommend thoroughly investigating said doctors credentials and references, and always see multiple doctors to see who fits you the best.
And if money is an issue, there are many free government programs available, such as NAMI and even a physician could recommend a psychiatrist or psychologist. But above all else, be your own advocate at all times. And if a doctor diagnoses you and prescribes medication after one or even two visits, run away as quickly as you can, because they are a grade A quack, pushing medicine fore moneys sake. No true, ethical, doctor would diagnose a patient in one visit, let alone even a week. I know, from my experience with bad doctors.
If you want to know because you think it would be cool and a unique way to get attention, then please find a good social outlet, hobby, new friends, someone to replace parents who ignore or abuse you, like a trusting counselor or minister, good family relative, a stable friends parents, a good teacher, I'm assuming you're in school or at home, or help lines and other assistant that is out there for mental health. But always remember to watch out for best interests and speak up if you think something is wrong or you're not getting the help you deserve and need.
