Why doesn't my mum want to admit I have a mental illness and how do I get her to take me to see a doctor?

Mental illness still has quite a stigma surrounding it, it's most probably that your mum wants to protect you from finding out that you have a mental illness because she (and wrongly) thinks that it will protect you. The other side of the coin is because people don't know what causes mental illness, your mum may feel that she is to blame for you having the disorder, and not getting it diagnosed means that she wouldn't have to face the guilt of the situation. However the fact is that no one knows why mental illness occurs, except to say that it is on the rise in today's society; without knowing what stage of your life you are at, it is impossible to say what may have caused it, although its not a bad thing. How to convince your mum that you need to go to the doctor is more difficult, if you could go to the doctor yourself that would probably be the best way about it; depression was not recognized as widely a generation ago, and so it is very possible that you mum may expect it to just go away, through not understanding what mental illness actually is. If you could try to convince her that its the same as if you had chest pains, or chronic headaches (ie a recognised medical problem) this might change her mind. Having said that, if you aren't old enough to go to the Dr alone (say under 16) you shouldn't be perscribed antidepressants, so you may need to find another way to combat the problem.. Feel free to respond, and I'd be happy to offer further advice, I've been through similar myself, seen friends go through the same, and have studied mental illness at university.

No one ever loves you like your Mum, Mum. Everything we owe, we owe to Mum, Mum. 'We owe to Mum!' Even when she whacks you on the bum, Mum. Mum's the word and so the word is Mum. 'That's me Mum!' 'Come on Bruce!' For Mother's Day a year is fine for some, Mum. But we know our mother's job is never done, Mum. 'It's never done' You will always be her number one, Mum. Mum's the word and so the word is Mum. 'That's me Mum!'
