Sara, a life-long ballet student, reports she feels like she does not want to participate in ballet anymore. She also states she is tired and cannot seem to get enough sleep.
Bipolar disorder
Generalized anxiety disorder
Obsessive-Compulsive disorder
Major depressive disorder
If she has a disorder, it is most likely major depressive disorder. However, without more data, it is difficult to tell if she might be in the depressive portion of the bipolar disorder. Look up the disorders in the DSM-IV.

Based on the information provided, it is difficult to determine a specific mental health condition for Sara. However, I can provide a brief explanation of each of the options you have listed:
1. Bipolar disorder: Bipolar disorder is a mental health condition characterized by extreme mood swings, including periods of elevated and energized moods (manic episodes) as well as periods of depressed moods. While Sara mentions feeling tired, it is unclear if she experiences these mood swings.
2. Generalized anxiety disorder: Generalized anxiety disorder (GAD) is a condition where individuals experience excessive and persistent worry or anxiety about various aspects of their life. Although Sara mentions feeling tired and not wanting to participate in ballet, it is unclear if her symptoms align with GAD.
3. Obsessive-Compulsive disorder: Obsessive-Compulsive disorder (OCD) is a mental health condition characterized by intrusive thoughts (obsessions) and repetitive behaviors (compulsions) performed to alleviate anxiety. Sara's symptoms of tiredness and lack of interest in ballet do not necessarily align with OCD.
4. Major depressive disorder: Major depressive disorder, commonly referred to as depression, is a mental health condition characterized by persistent feelings of sadness, hopelessness, and a loss of interest in activities. Sara's symptoms of feeling tired and not wanting to participate in ballet may be indicative of depression, as sleep disturbances can often accompany this condition.
Please note that a mental health professional is required to provide a diagnosis and proper assessment for any mental health condition. If Sara continues to experience these symptoms, it may be helpful for her to seek guidance and support from a mental health professional.
Diagnosing an illness on the basis of one or two symptoms is dangerous.
