It is wonderful that you want to know! Knowledge is the first step in getting help! It would be best if you can search out an experienced clinician for an evaluation. Sometimes the best place to find a good referral is an academic hospital – for example, in the Boston area where I am, I would ask someone in the Department of Psychiatry at Beth Israel or Mass General. It might take as little as one session, or as much as three sessions, but you will get the answer you need, and perhaps a referral to a person who will be a good match for you.
Good luck to you!
