Ok. i 15 and i have been having depression lately, is there a reason be hide this and what can i do about this.
thanks,Jamie
Everyone gets depressed occasionally. You should always tell your best girlfriends how you are feeling, good or bad. If it lasts for more than a month or so, or if ending your life seems like an alternative, talk to your parents about it. They might eventually have you talk to a professional. It’s cool. Good shrinks are neat people. If she isn’t, fire her. Yes you can do that. They work for you.
If your parents don’t do anything, talk to a trusted teacher or specialist at school or a minister if you do that. Some schools have counselors just for this. Don’t give up. Unless you have some chemical imbalance which a shrink will find, you will be fine when you get past this stuff. Just talking to people about it will help a lot. Just don’t wait TOO long to get help if you don’t start feeling better in a month or so. Good Luck. You’ll be okay if you keep asking questions and TAKE ACTION !!!

Talk to a counselor. I know everyone says that but they can really help and give you the tools you need to get yout of our depression. Sorry that’s a lame answer but I would need more details about your depression to give you more specific solutions.

If you are depressed about some environmental issue your best bet is to go to a counselor or therapist. Call your insurance company and they will give you a whole list of people you can call. If you are just depressed overall and there doesn’t seem to be a cause then you may need to go to a psychiatrist, in which case you should go to your regular doctor and they can either give you medicine or send you to another doctor who will.
