Answer 2

What would you think if you couldn't obtain the best help for her because you couldn't tell that help about her dire straits and she died?? If life and death is all that urgent, I suggest you cut the bull and get cracking. There are local telephone sites in large cities people can call if they feel suicidal. I am sure there is a mental health association around somewhere. Believe it or not, people had depression before the internet and were treated for it.

Answer 3

I don't know of any websites but you can try calling 1-800-suicide and talk to people there that can help you and advise you were to go for help etc.
I know you don't want to tell anyone but you should. Talk to the school nurse or a trusted adult. She may be hurt at first but she will thank you in the long run. She needs professional help.

See depression treatments, at http://www.ezy-build.net.nz/~shaneris in section 2, and consult a doctor, to eliminate thyroid problems, etc. as possible contributing factors. It is your decision, and yours alone, as to whether to take any antidepressants offered, but, before you do, read section 1, and check medications out at www.drugs.com so you will be on the lookout for side effects, like sexual dysfunction. My strong recommendation, however, is to follow the advice of my doctor, his partner, and also Marcelle Pick, OB/GYN NP, and Dr. Mercola, as well, at http://www.mercola.com and avoid antidepressants (page 2V refers, & antidepressant websites: page 2). All of their advice, (except prayer, because many people are not religious) I have incorporated into the "core treatments", including others as options, such as herbal remedies (none of which have been conclusively demonstrated to work with severe depression). If you are diagnosed with clinical (major) depression, antidepressants may be necessary for a while, which will give the treatments time to become effective. The antidepressants themselves need at least several days, or even many weeks to become effective. It's a good idea to taper off them slowly, with medical advice, after several months, say, to a couple of years, at most, because they are only effective in the long term for about 30% of people. Because of this, you would be well advised to begin the treatments immediately, and maintain them. I'd just thank your mental health care provider, and pocket the prescription, trying the treatments for a few months, to see if they are sufficient for you, before considering filling it (unless clinically depressed, and having great difficulty functioning, in which case I'd take them). Suicidal thoughts and self harm are addressed on pages 5, and 16: print/refer her.
