More information: I would need more information to help you. What makes you ask? Are you not feeling well? Depressed? hearing or seeing things? are others observing things that are concerning?

Agree with Dr. A: If you have any concern, talk to your doctor. There is no harm in getting evaluated. God forbid, you turn out to have a mental illness, there are effective treatments for such disorders. Have a healthy diet, exercise 30 minutes/day, drink plenty of water, have safe sex, no tobacco alcohol weed or street drugs. For nutrition: http://www.choosemyplate.gov/. Get HPV vaccine

An inquiry alone tells someone a lot. It rules out many types of mental illness. You need to e evaluated by a mental health provider such as a psychologist for about an hour evaluation

Do you have emotional issues that are significantly impacting your quality of life or are interfering with function? If yes, consider a comprehensive psychiatric/ psychological evaluation.
