there are a lot of things that go into deciding whether of not someone has an ed. mental state, physical state, symptoms, etc. describe your situation and your doctor will be able to make a good diagnosis. he/she will probably set you up with a therapist and/or nutritionist and will most likely want to put you on some sort of meds if you're depressed or anxious.
and YES, it's worth the trip

I just can't stay in that building that is reeking mildew...
