Addiction Signs and Symptoms: I Need Serious Psychiatric Help… Possible Diagnosises? Anything?

Question by Display_Name: I need serious Psychiatric help… possible diagnosises? Anything?
When I was 15, I was assessed by a psych as showing strong signs of PTSD and ADD and it was advised I receive immediate consultations with a regular psychiatrist and have a regular therapist. I wasn’t informed until I was 21 of the results of that assessment. As I was under Children’s Aid’s Care, no further action was taken to get me the help I obviously needed. Now I’m 23, and have been out of the system for some years. I am not in any financial position to get the help that I need. I was wondering if anyone has any advice. I also want to post a list of my most common and debilitating “symptoms” or “problems” so that anyone with similar problems can write me back and tell me what they were diagnosed with, or lead me in a direction to research.
