How Can Disorder Symptoms Be Confirmed?

I was reading about personality disorders and other disorders after my brother was diagnosed with aspergus ( spelling?) and I was reading one that sounded like me and it scared me so I was reading about it and it really sounds like me, it's was schizotypal disorder, umm I was wondering If it's was just a conisidence or if I really should get me checked out because I'm scared of having a disorder . I'm to scared to talk to my mum because I tried it once and she just said I was beings silly so I know she won't belive me, I was reading the sympotoms and it's so much like me and I was thinking if I should get it cheaked out or somthing?

Dear
Welcome to HCM
We understand your concerns

I went through your descriptions. I suggest you not to worry much. You have not mentioned your age and occupation in the description. From the description, I cannot see schizotypal personality disorder in you. But I do see anxiety rather health anxiety. To find out your personality type, you need to take personality tests which are administered by clinical psychologists. Don't go with tests available in the internet which are normally misguiding. Don't read unnecessary books. Even for a trained psychiatrist, it takes some time to understand your correct problem, in that case, how an untrained person can? Be confident, if you have a problem, Always say - SO WHAT?-. You need cognitive behavior therapy. I can help you with that. Please post a direct query to me with every minute details possible. I shall prescribe tailormade cognitive behavior therapy techniques to you which should clear your problems within weeks.

Hope this answers your query. Available for further clarifications.
Good luck.
