how can i get the pills i need for depression?

i have depression i know that i took tests and it clearly said i have it. its a weird question and i feel weird for putting it bluntly but i need to know how i can get them. i tried telling my mom that i have it but she says its all in my head and thinks im playing so she makes jokes about it. i think she only does that to ignore the fact that i could be suffering from teen depression and my dad has noticed the change in me as well. but when i tell my mom to take me to the doctor and that im being serious about it she doesn't want to take me. must i get permission from my parents to get the medication i need? i can pay whatever it takes. im uncertain my dad will belive its so far that im depressed so no point in asking him. uh if you know any numbers i can call to get more information or speak to a doctor anonymously i will be highly grate full. please no put downs if you have the urge to say something mean respectfully move on. thank you.

    Depression medication doesn't really do anything, honestly. I've tried many different medications for depression and I'm still depressed as I ever have been.

    Oh and if you do get on meds, DON'T GET ON EFFEXOR XR.

    It'll mess with your head so much that if you stop taking it, you have extreme anger. I'm a gentle person, and when I went off it, I got in a fight and almost murdered another person. It's not a good drug.

    The only way you can get medication you have to go in talk to your doctor about what going on with and your need to stop taken you for a joke this can be some serious.Your dad will probably take you to the doctor sent he believe you.The doctor will write you out a prescribe to give to a pharmacy's

    Depending how old you are, you should be able to go and see a doctor by yourself, try calling your clinic and asking ? As for St. John Wort, this medication should never be taken unless under the instruction of a doctor !!!! It is very dangerous, especially if mixed with other medications and can even cause death ! Good luck :)

    our parents dont understand alot of things these days i would suggest that u go to ur counselors office at school and let him/her know about this serious situation and im sure they will contact ur parents to have a meeting with u and them to make them understand that u need help. i dont there are doctors who give antidepressants to minors without the consent of their parents because some meds have very serious side effects that can kill u or u hurt someone because its not properly working in ur head. maybe u should right a very serious letter to each of your parents to read when they are alone and hopefully they can get it through their thick skulls that u need help.

    go to your family doctor and talk to him about ur depression and how bad it is he should refer to a psychiatrist and if ur parents say no im sure ur doctor would convince them its the right thing to do hes the one that will give you pills for depression but pills are not a cure sure they can help but your depression is caused by your thoughts treatment for depression therapy+medication(if necessary) a counselor or psychologist will help u with that because the psychiatrist only prescribes the drugs and he will make u see a counselor gud luck
