You don't.
A serious mental illnesses work the other way around. Everyone knows it except you.
You are probably going through normal teen angst.

I don't know what is going on with you and why you believe you have a serious mental illness, however since your parents don't believe you, can you go to the school counselor and speak with them? How about a close family member? Have you tried you regular family Dr.? Can you go on line and find some answers? I wish I knew more so I could be more helpful. Good Luck

Being afraid you're mentally ill can be as rough as being mentally ill. Your fear is enough to talk to someone you trust about it. If your parents aren't hearing you, find a trusted adult who can. It may be a counselor, a nurse, a favorite teacher at school.
The fear is enough to trouble you. All of the changes of simply growing up can make you feel abnormal - another reason to find a trusted adult to confide in, OK?
Young people can sometimes experience depression. It's a scary feeling when nobody seems to be listening. Or, if you feel they're not taking you seriously. It can be scary.
Depending on your age there are many things it could be and not be mental illness, at all. It's smart to find out what makes you feel as you do, if only to feel less anxious.
True mental illness [serious ones] aren't too commonly seen in younger people, if that's any comfort. The serious ones show up, as a rule, in late adolescence or in adulthood. That's what I've learned in Abnormal Psychology college courses. Talk to someone you trust and see if you're confronting what many young people do: very normal feelings in a process of maturing. If you are, these difficulties will smooth out before you know it.

If you're still in school, there would be a counselor there who can help you. Otherwise, outside of school there are other resources in the community that can help you. If it gets particularly severe, you may want to go to the emergency room.

there is so many different illnesss that relate to mental illnes. it could be depression or you are hearing voices or your body and your immune system is slowing shutting down. what you need to do is go to the doctors for a check up. go to at least three different doctors and if its not medically you might have to go to a psychologist.

You need to talk to someone who will listen to you. Try your school counselor, your priest or another adult that you trust. Don't give up just because your parents don't believe you. If not properly treated, mental illness can be deadly. Please, find someone to talk to ASAP! God bless you.

Use a power drill and a large bit to bore a whole in your skull so you parents can see your diseased brain.

What makes you think this?
Ask your parents to make you an appointment with your primary care doctor, and discuss your thoughts with him/her.
