Just tell them. Unless they were the cause, they should understand. If you do not think they will, then get some help from your counselor. If you are not getting counseling, call your local mental health association or other social services provider for referrals.

If you have been interacting with them, they will have sensed the problem anyway.

ANSWER

Okay,

You are currently experiencing symptoms of a mental illness and you are a minor child. You need to seek help, and you feel you need your parents permission to do so, probably because you've never been to a doctor without them and couldn't afford one even if you had.

I personally understand your unease at telling them. I was 23 and in graduate school when I was diagnosed Bipolar. Even after I sought treatment I was nearly institutionalized and had been under treatment for over 6 months before I finally told my family. So I understand how hard you must think the conversation you're planning is going to be.

The trick is, you must have the conversation to obtain treatment. I didn't have that problem as an adult living on my own. I just had to worry about being locked in a sate run mental health facility.

The answer, fortunately is, to simply tell them. It is very unlikely that they will react negatively. You are their child, they love you and they want to help you. And you need the help.

I know that your stress levels are probably through the roof right now (I've suffered through panic attacks myself), but what you need to do is put your treatment into the hands of those who can help.

ANSWER First of all remember that nothing is wrong with you. You were made perfect and you have everything everyone else does on this planet. But if you want to want to tell your parents, but your having a hard time tell either just your mom or just your dad first. Which ever parent would be more understanding would probably be your better choice. Talk to that one parent about it and see what they say and if they can help you. Just keep pushing through and you will always find a way through. Also remember that anxiety is just a pointless fear that tries to stop you from seeing the beauty in life. So maybe try something different. Go on a hike with some friends or just experience something beautiful in this world that you havent in a long time. Good luck and God bless

Is anxiety disorder and anxiety neurosis curable and are other drugs needed if you've had Alprazolam 0.5 mg 1-1-2 and Venlafaxine37.5mg 1-1-1 for over four years but are not feeling better?

It is hard to say without knowing your circumstances. Many people have been virtually cured from an anxiety disorder. There are drugs such as the SSRI types that aim to assist in allowing the bodies own brain chemicals to build up again. Whether or not they are appropriate in your case is something only a doctor could tell you. The length of time you have to be on them varies by how low your own levels are to start with. You could always try going to another doctor for fresh opinion and be sure to tell him what medications you are already on. An anxiety disorder will not improve unless you are in therapy and have made substantial changes to your life skills and habits. Medication helps you feel better temporarily, but will not cure an anxiety disorder.
