okay. Sorry if this is long but.. I just went to the Doctor's yesturday and he told me a bunch of things wrong with me like..
*I might have,
*Lime Disease
*Mano[spelling?]
*Dislexit
*I have Asthma
*I have Dislexia
*I have ADD & ADHD
*I have to go see a shrink
Okay wow alot of things known in just one check up, right? . Well idk what to do. Becuase i might have depression and stuff. And i feel like a problem child in the family since my brother doesnt have anything wrong with him and neither do my parents. Which sucks. So i guess i just need someone to talk too and i just need help.
PS. I'm 13 if that changes anything? .

That's quite a set of possibilities to throw at you. And it's a lot of uncertainty to deal with at your age - or ANY age, actually.
Look at it this way, though: at least you're getting some medical attention and help. It's not like your doctor is just trying to "treat & street" you, which is what happens to a lot of people these days. And you're young; it's much better to deal with this stuff NOW, rather than waiting for years and suffering unnecessarily.
It's scary, yes. And it's important to remember that NONE of this is your fault, not in any way. But diagnosis and treatment is the first step to dealing with it all. Of course it's also quite possible that you don't have ALL of the conditions that your doctor suggested, which is why (I assume) he'll be doing further tests.
The other good thing is that there are effective treatments for those conditions - I don't want to sound heartless, and please don't take this the wrong way, but it's not like he told you that you have cancer. With treatment you should be able to lead a long, healthy, happy life.
Try to relax. If it all gets too scary, look up some relaxation techniques online; meditation and breathing exercises are very helpful. You should be able to talk about all of this with your psychiatrist, too, or with a therapist - it sounds as if they're likely to recommend one - and that should help, too.
Good luck!
