I dont know what i suffer from but something is very different
There is not much medical help here and i have visited psychatrist earlier but with poor result

Ok i was abused as a child my father was seriously psycho, alcoholic, voilent and mom was narcisstic,
frustrated and always depressed and brother too something weird with him.

NO friends from childhood, lonely, no luck with career everything gone kaput.
No long term friends, also i have obsession problem
If someone talks nicely with me i pursue them keep calling them up,
keep emailing them even though they dont reply

Last 2 years back i met a guy and kept following him, sending him mails, calling him up
he dumped me and i was totally into depression which still continues.

I dont know whats wrong with me but im very very quite and different
people find me boring and melancholy

can you diagnose whats wrong with me :?:

Hello,

You might have any number of 'issues'. Such could range from mild to severe, temporary to chronic, singular or multiple. Frankly, no one here can diagnose you and you shouldn't allow anyone here to do so.

Firstly, how is it that the psychiatrist led to poor results? Were you given any advice, diagnosis, prescriptions, anything? Were you supposed to follow up with them? Did you if you were?

You do have the right to assess your own situation, through research, but that assessment is not an acceptable substitute for professional analysis and therapy. Given that you already know some of your underlying conditions and symptoms - "abused as a child", "have obsession problems", "depression which still continues" - you may have a starting point. There are numerous online psychology resources, mental health sites and good old Wikipedia, where you can read about different disorders and conditions. Doing such research MAY help you to discern in which direction it is best to proceed, as you compare your readings to your own experience and symptoms. When you have done such 'footwork', you should then take your findings/insights to a professional for help in obtaining a more complete understanding, any available therapies and possible resolution.

psychatrist here just talk for 5 minutes then they give medicines.
medicines dont help me
once they diganosed me under paranoid psychosis
he hardly spoke to me for 10mins and made this diagnosis

from self analysis i have realised that i have depression, PTSD, and moodswings and also obsession(dangerously high level)

Same here. I don't have much advice except to suggest seeing a psychologist instead. They are quite different than psychiatrists.
