Depression - Teen Support Group

Teen depression is marked by persistent sadness, discouragement, loss of self-worth, and loss of interest in usual activities. Depression can be a temporary response to many situations and stresses. Teens may be more susceptible to depression due to the normal maturation process, the stress associated with it, and conflicts with parents as they become more independent.

Im pretty sure there is, you should tell your psychiotrist right away if you are feeling like that. Do not hesitate for an instant and talk to someone how you feel! If you need someone to talk to I am here, please hang in there and talk to your psychiotrist immediately!

That's just it. Be honest.
Tell her these are feelings you don't want to share with them, but still must share.
A psychologist is meant to help- she can only do so if you're honest.

A psychologist is normally supposed to keep everything you two discuss in confidentiality. That means anything that's said in the room where you two talk, stays there. So go ahead and tell her. If you still don't know, ask her to keep this between you and her.

You need to talk to someone about how you're feeling, or write it down in a journal or a blog to us on here.

Be strong and don't do anything irrational!

I have attempted and thought about on numerous occasions - but now i think that its not worth it - you've got so much to live for! even if you don't realise it now you will, and im sure i speak on behalf of many on DS - that we care.

If you are under the age of 18, the psychiatrist is required to tell your parents or the proper authorities if you want to hurt yourself or hurt others. Everything else is confidential.

like CHopeC said if you are under 18 it is required but if you are actually feeling that way you probably should let your parents know before you do something you might regret. i hope everything works out hugss
