Averiguar qu\u00e9 tipo de <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/screening.mhanational.org\/es\/content\/what-mental-illness\/\">problema de salud mental<\/a><\/strong> puede resultar confuso, y es normal sentirse abrumado por la cantidad de informaci\u00f3n que hay disponible.<strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>La etiqueta que utiliza un profesional de la salud mental para referirse a una enfermedad mental espec\u00edfica se denomina <strong>diagn\u00f3stico<\/strong>. Un ejemplo de diagn\u00f3stico podr\u00eda ser \u201c<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/screening.mhanational.org\/es\/content\/are-there-types-of-anxiety\/\">trastorno de ansiedad generalizada<\/a><\/strong>, o \u201d<strong><a href=\"https:\/\/screening.mhanational.org\/es\/content\/are-there-types-of-bipolar\/\">trastorno bipolar II<\/a><\/strong>.Hay muchos tipos diferentes de enfermedades mentales, que van mucho m\u00e1s all\u00e1 de la simple \u201ddepresi\u00f3n\u201c. Se requiere un diagn\u00f3stico si se utiliza el seguro para pagar el tratamiento. Pero no es necesario tener un diagn\u00f3stico para buscar ayuda.<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u00a0<\/strong>Lo m\u00e1s importante es simplemente reconocer que est\u00e1s pasando por algo y que te vendr\u00eda bien un poco de ayuda. Si est\u00e1s bastante seguro de que padeces una enfermedad mental, pero no sabes cu\u00e1l, \u00bfpor d\u00f3nde empiezas?<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Entonces, \u00bfc\u00f3mo puedo saber qu\u00e9 tengo?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>A veces, las personas pueden hacerse una idea bastante clara de la enfermedad que podr\u00edan padecer con solo leer sobre ella en Internet y hablar con otras personas que han tenido experiencias similares. Pero tambi\u00e9n es f\u00e1cil dejarse llevar. Al escuchar las experiencias de otros en TikTok, es posible que termines sintiendo que padeces todas las enfermedades mentales, pero eso es poco probable.<\/p>\n<p>Los doctores han dividido los trastornos de salud mental en varias categor\u00edas. Aunque no es un sistema perfecto, es un punto de partida.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Los problemas que comienzan antes de la pubertad y est\u00e1n relacionados con la comunicaci\u00f3n, las relaciones sociales o la impulsividad incluyen el autismo y <a href=\"https:\/\/screening.mhanational.org\/es\/content\/do-i-have-adhd\/\">TDAH (ADHD)<\/a> y se denominan trastornos del desarrollo neurol\u00f3gico.<\/li>\n<li>Si sientes tristeza, dificultad para disfrutar o tristeza y energ\u00eda extremas, es posible que tengas un problema de estado de \u00e1nimo como <a href=\"https:\/\/screening.mhanational.org\/es\/content\/what-depression\/\">depresi\u00f3n<\/a> o <a href=\"https:\/\/screening.mhanational.org\/es\/content\/what-is-bipolar-disorder\/\">bipolar<\/a>.<\/li>\n<li>Si sientes mucho miedo, p\u00e1nico o <a href=\"https:\/\/screening.mhanational.org\/es\/content\/what-trauma\/\">sufri\u00f3 un trauma<\/a> \u2013 es posible que tengas un <a href=\"https:\/\/screening.mhanational.org\/es\/content\/what-anxiety\/\">problema de ansiedad<\/a>.<\/li>\n<li>Si experimentas voces, visiones o pensamientos que los dem\u00e1s no ven, oyen ni piensan, es posible que est\u00e9s experimentando <a href=\"https:\/\/screening.mhanational.org\/es\/content\/what-psychosis\/\">psicosis<\/a>.<\/li>\n<li>Los cambios asociados con el consumo de alcohol o drogas se tratan como <a href=\"https:\/\/screening.mhanational.org\/es\/content\/what-addiction\/\">adicci\u00f3n o trastornos por consumo de sustancias<\/a>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Un buen punto de partida es <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/screening.mhanational.org\/es\/screening-tools\/\">Realice una prueba de salud mental en l\u00ednea.<\/a><\/strong>. Las pruebas de salud mental de nuestro sitio web son las mismas herramientas de evaluaci\u00f3n que se utilizan en muchos consultorios m\u00e9dicos. Est\u00e1n validadas cient\u00edficamente y son mucho m\u00e1s precisas que simplemente leer sobre salud mental y hacer conjeturas. Puede utilizar sus resultados para <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/screening.mhanational.org\/es\/content\/how-do-i-ask-my-friends-and-family-help\/\">inicia una conversaci\u00f3n con tus amigos o familiares<\/a><\/strong>, o util\u00edzalos para supervisar tu progreso a lo largo del tiempo.<\/p>\n<h2>Diagn\u00f3stico y tratamiento<\/h2>\n<p>Finalmente, si quieres que te diagnostiquen oficialmente una enfermedad mental, tendr\u00e1s que acudir al m\u00e9dico o <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/screening.mhanational.org\/es\/content\/how-do-i-find-therapist\/\">un terapeuta<\/a><\/strong>. Ellos <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/screening.mhanational.org\/es\/content\/how-does-therapy-work-what-expect\/\">hacerte algunas preguntas<\/a><\/strong> y utilizar\u00e1n su formaci\u00f3n y experiencia para determinar si sus s\u00edntomas coinciden con una enfermedad mental concreta. Si puede, intente acudir a un especialista en salud mental, como un psiquiatra o un terapeuta. Sin embargo, su m\u00e9dico de cabecera puede diagnosticar afecciones comunes como la depresi\u00f3n y la ansiedad. Tambi\u00e9n puede derivarle a un especialista.<\/p>\n<p>Un diagn\u00f3stico puede llevar tiempo hasta que se determine con certeza. Si te han diagnosticado algo y crees que no es correcto, no hay problema en hablar con tu proveedor para aclararlo o explorar un diagn\u00f3stico diferente. Si sientes que tu proveedor no te escucha, no hay problema en buscar una segunda opini\u00f3n. Y recuerda siempre: un diagn\u00f3stico no te define, solo es una forma de conectarte con la ayuda que necesitas.<\/p>\n<div class=\"layout-action show-actions_h\"><div class=\"diy-tool-shortcode
