well, if they are missing their legs, hide knives under their pillows, go for runs at 5 in the morning, and they appear as a child that has just got their lolly pop stolen, they are probrably depressed

∙ 7y agoWhen my daughter told me, she just came right out with it. She asked to talk, and she said she hadn't felt happy in a long time, that she knew her life was good and she had plenty to be happy about, but that as much as she tried, it just wasn't working. She said she thought it was more than just being moody, and that she was worn down from feeling that way. She asked if we could go talk to someone about it, and we did. I made an appointment that day.
It may not go exactly the same for you, but remember that your parents are there to help you. If you truly do have depression or anxiety, sometimes it is caused by things that are out of your control, like hormones (not all hormones are the attraction kind). When a person has serious depression, it is a lot like having Diabetes. It is just something they have. It is something they have to talk to the doctor and learn how to manage. It is not something "wrong" with them.
The doctor has been able to help my daughter a lot. It also makes it easier on our family knowing that she has this to deal with. Before we knew, we often wondered what was going on or what we might have done wrong. Now that we know, we know that a bad day is just that... a bad day. Instead of trying to work out what is going on, we just know that is a day she needs a little more support.
The doctor also told us that this is something that often passes in your late teens. Changes in the brain start leveling out, and sometimes depression and anxiety don't last.
I know it is hard, but going to your parents is a big step. It means you are putting your first foot forward to get help. Try not to be scared. Try to be hopeful. This is something that can get better.

∙ 8y agoThinking you have an illness or problem, mental or physical, is a real worry that cannot be resolved by you without help. In the same way that a broken arm doesn't just go away without medical help, you should share your concerns with your parents to trusted adult. While parents may be deeply concerned about your fears this however does not make them experts. The best advice is to see a professional. If they are concerned they might want to offer to pay for you to visit a trained medical professional of your choice to discuss the matter.
If you want to go it on your own, determine if your region has a health hotline that you can call for advice on health issues. Call them as a start, and see what is available. Local hot lines may be identified though an internet search using search strings like "depression, hotline, (your location)." School counselors, drop in clinics, and such may also offer potential contacts or direction.

How do you tell your parents you have been diagnosed with severe anxiety and depression.... Especially when they believe that there is no such thing as stress and depression?
If you tried talking to them already, have your doctor prove it to them. By having a doctor talk to them, it is a good idea because they are the ones who diagnosed it in the first place, and if an authority says you have it, then your parents should believe it from your doctor.

What should you do when you are 22 and suffering with depression and anxiety and she has now started seeing this other lad two weeks after you split but you still love her and want her back?
Depression and anxiety are very common and statistics of both are rising. Don't feel alone! It is difficult for some people who have not experienced depression (depression is considered a problem when someone is depressed constantly for more than two weeks) or anxiety issues (caused by the depression) to understand someone that is suffering from it. You will have to face yourself and realize that through no fault of your own you have depression and anxiety and in itself it is frightening for the person suffering from it and it narrows their lifestyle down more and more. Please see your doctor and he/she will give you some medications for both your depression and anxiety symptoms so that you will be able to get therapy (Cognitive Therapy) is a great program to help you through your depression and anxiety. Cognitive Therapy teaches you to look at the opposite of what you are feeling. You need to help yourself before your can expect your girlfriend to come back to you. If you require more help please leave a message on my message board.

Coping Methods For Depression/Anxiety?
Coping with depression requires a multi-faceted approach. One type of treatment or therapy will not adequately manage depression symptoms, so patients should be encouraged to explore different options. Some coping methods include individual, group, or family therapy, where patients can be encouraged and can learn to identify and properly manage depression/anxiety triggers. Eating healthy and regular exercise can also be using as part of an effective coping plan for patients.
