Sister has had this mental illness for 9 yrs now &we don't know what it is (Professionals greatly appreciated)?
Tuesday, January 11th, 2011I know my sister has some sort of mental illness. She’s pretty much had it her whole life, but it got bad when she was 17 and now she is 26. throughout the years she’s been on many different types of meds, psychiatrists/therapists and have gone through soo many phases. Between these years she’s gone through phases where she didn’t want my mom to go anywhere, or if my mom went anywhere she would have to go with her. We sent her to nj to live with my dad to get better help which is still not working. My mom tried to get her evaluated but for some reason my sister doesn’t want to find out her what her diagnoses is. Here are some of the symptoms she has and maybe some of you would know what it may be:
-Social anxiety
-Self-centered
-Horting
-Stealing (only from her immediate family)
-Compulsive shopping
-Depression
-Jealousy
-Fear of being abandon
-Unjustified anger
-Perfectionist
-Generalized fear
-OCD
-Controlling
Things that set off her anxiety:
-Nausea
-Diarrhea
-Vomiting
Also, she does alot of good artwork, and alot of her artwork is like a half of a face that looks sad, and sometimes has a teardrop. She’s done this kind of face artwork alot even before her mental illness came. Here is what the face mostly looks like:

Again, if any of you have an idea what this may be, I’d gladly appreciate to hear about it.
Thank you!!
