HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
It may be best to still see a doctor for an assessment. He or she would be able to conduct a more thorough assessment than that of an online form.
There are also other psychological conditions that you would need to be evaluated for.
Assessment may also include blood tests to rule out any electrolyte or other conditions that may affect mental state.
I hope this helps
