I need to go on antidepressants but I can't get diagnosed??? what should i do?

I'm pretty sure I'm depressed but idk what to do bc if my mother found out she'd be angry and pull me out of boarding school and i just don't know what to do i need to go on antidepressants because i'm tired and unmotivated and sad and grumpy all the time and I'm so at loss for what I need to do. my school damn near refuses to tell people they may depressed bc they dont want to have to deal with depressed people and self-harmers and stuff. gods i want to cry please just give me advice and dont be a jerk thanks

Go to your doctor. But you need a complete physical workup to make sure that your symptoms aren't due to something else. And that something else could be dozens of different things, from a thyroid condition to sleep deprivation.

Hope that helps.

If you "think" you're depressed, that doesn't mean you've been diagnosed. You can't just assume things. Thats no different than assuming you have cancer and wanting to start chemo treatment.
