You're obviously a very kind and considerate daughter who cares a lot about her parents. But you must care for yourself, too. You never know, your mother may be more understanding and open to the idea than you think. If she's on depression medication, she obviously understands the need for help.
Just be honest and tell them that you think therapy would benefit you.
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.
You could try sitting down with them in a calm and private setting, and express your feelings openly and honestly. Let them know that you've been struggling with your mental health and think that speaking to a professional would be helpful. Emphasize that seeking help is a positive step towards feeling better.
Yep you sure can! I did.
yes
Parents, They had to watch their kids sort of suffer as well as themselves
they went to work to support their parents.
Parents is already plural. The singular is parent. One parent - two parents.
If your father or his blood relatives, mother or her blood relatives (parents and siblings) are known to have had major depression than you are likely to have major depression.
Well, you really should, considering your tender age...
You just tell them staright forward. Or you could ask them about the affects of depression, then say that you have the same symptoms and tell them. Hope this helped.
the parents want to reinforce it to show you that is important
