i have really bad depression how do i tell my parents??

Answer 1

Tell them you are depressed and need help.If they love you they will do exactly that or refer you to someone who can.Happy pills might also help, or get laid.

Answer 2

Depression is turned in anger , you feel lost , useless, desperation and knowing you can't do any thing about it , and anger develops into depression . Many times this is the symptom of family problems , it all depends how open is the parent you most trust to open up your dilemma , If you can't you have to take care of your self ,that is since you have to stay with your family , begin by recognising that you are a special loving human and nothing that your parents might be doing wrong is your fault and you have a future to live , Accept that your parents are doing the best they can and know how, they have no training , none of us had it , so by realizing their short comings you decide to involve your self in constructive bejaviour , as school good grades , art , skating, teatre etc. to make you feel that you are accomplishing something , and this will make your parents apreciat you new attitude , consequently you will begin to feel appreciated .

Yes, you should tell them immediately. You need medical attention. Feel better soon. Hug.

Depression is a mood disorder that causes a child or teen to feel sad or irritable for a long period of time. A young person who is depressed may not enjoy school, play, or friends and may have low energy and other symptoms. As with an adult, symptoms of depression range from mild to severe and vary from person to person. Depression can last for a long time and may come in cycles of feeling down and feeling normal. Chronic (ongoing) mild depression, called dysthymia, occurs when a child feels a little down most of the time for a year or more. Both severe and mild forms of depression can be effectively treated.

It was once thought that only adults developed depression and that children and teens could not. We now know that even a young child can develop serious depression that needs treatment to improve. However, symptoms of depression in children and teens can be difficult to recognize. They range from boredom to stomach pain and may seem to be symptoms of something else. Many children and teens who are depressed do not get adequate treatment because their symptoms are not identified. Mood swings and other emotional changes caused by depression may be overlooked as unimportant or as a normal part of growing up.

Children and teens with depression frequently have other conditions such as anxiety disorders, behavior disorders like attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), eating disorders, learning disorders, or serious behavior problems (conduct disorder). These conditions may occur before a child is diagnosed with depression.
