Answer
Hi Robin :)

Well the best thing to do to get diagnosed is to go see your family doctor. They can refer you to someone who specializes in that sort or thing. Then I think you'll have to go through some tests but thats just a guess. Maybe read this http://www.mental-health-today.com/gender/dsm.htm to get a feel for what it you need to know.

I hope that helps :)
