Ask this in the Mental health section also for more answers.

I have worked in psychiatry for 25 years now. it is important that you talk with someone you trust about how you are feeling.

Some people are actually born with the mental illness called 'depression'. Others may be going through a rough time and are 'feeling' depressed.

First find out if there is a family history of depression--as it is usually passed down genetically. The type of specialist who deals with mental health is a psychiatrist. They rely on medication to restore the brain chemistry.

But--if you do not actually 'have' the mental disorder, but are feeling anxious and depressed, there are counselors, psychologists to go and talk to--who do not prescribe medication (they are not able to, as they are not medical doctors). Good luck to you.

Many schools and employments have a 'counselor' that you can talk to for some guidance.

If you are religious and would feel more comfortable talking to a religious leader for guidance, you can do that too.

There is nothing shameful about feeling stressed and depressed--most of us do at some time in our life.

if u r in the depression and u know it, then let me tell u r nt depressed, u r just in the tension phase or some kind of anxiety.

depression is a kind of thing which relatives can detect very quick and if they r nt getting, means u hav no problem. i suggest u to meet a counsellor. also, depression is not a kind of illness that u will kill u, if u r having the fear of death, trust me thats mean anxiety. a depressed person doesnt want to live anymore.

talk u ur parents, friends (only those who has mind, our most of the frnds used to be just useless, and all they give is a laugh, at back). start morning walk, jon play groups, painting or singing can also help.

and u know u are going to live for 100 years, so go out, njoyy the life and beauty of nature and humanity...:)

Depression is just another disease like headache or migraine. Tell your family that you are not feeling well and want to see a doctor. The doctor would prescribe some pills and you would be fine in a few days. There is no need to worry. Good luck.

Just tell them you are feeling depressed and that you might want to start seeing someone for help. Its normal. Just be brave they will help you. As much as they can.<3

Good luck

Yes, but you'd do better in a mental health forum than a language one.

Just discuss with them politely , and need not to worry much , you may feel good after opening yourself in front of them.
