There's a history of mental illness in my family (my father's side is riddled with it). Both luckily and unluckily for me, I think my sister inherited that bit.
I think at one point they tried to diagnose me with everything in the book. I didn't have many friends when I was younger, and so the school recommended I be sent to shrink after shrink until they figured out what was wrong. Turned out I lived in a small, conservative town and I didn't like sports. Problem solved...kind of.
When I was 13 and going through the coming out process I developed some pretty severe depression. Almost killed myself actually, ended up in the ER and ultimately rehab (I said no no no, but they sent me anyway). I still have my ups and downs with depression, but it's usually incident related (most recently I lost a very close grandmother in March and had to go on mood stabilizers for about a month.) I monitor myself very closely though, I take everything related to my psyche very seriously.

You really believe in a man who has helped to save the world twice, with the power to change his physical appearance? An alien who travels though time and space--in a police box?!?
