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.
ok..so this is kinda hard to explain..but basically..i wanted to know if there was someone like a family doctor i could go to and get depression medication..by myself meaning, without my parents or friends finding out. its a long story why..but..i do know that i've been denying depression for about a month, after one of my friends said something about myself being depressed...and im starting to think i am..i feel it, theres not denying that...and i have numerous reasons why i dont want anyone to know..but if there is a way i can get some sorta depression meds from a doctor without anyone knowing..it'd really be helpful information..
Thanks.

Winter is a bad time to get the moodies, so please just be sure your depression isnt just the winter blues before you resort to drugs hon. We have a tendancy to stay cooped up indoors in the winter, depriving our bodies of sunlight (vit D) if you can spend 20 mins or so outside wrapped up, each day you may feel a difference, also its about attitude too, the usa is a nation of drug therapy for everything, a lot of teen depression can be uplifted by simple methods. Put some happy music on, hang out with friends and cut up, think happy thoughts, occupy yourself and stay positive hon, dont do the drugs if you can get away with it, make it your last resort. Every drug you take has side effects, which can often be worse than the problem itself, I know this from experience. You're young get out there and enjoy life hon )))))hugz
