Suggest Treatment For Clinical/major Depression Disorder

Hi, Im 13 and i think i have a clinical/major depression disorder.I have only told one of my best friends about 3 days ago. I want help but i have some problems in my way.. i think my parents will think im lieing for attention or something.. also i would like a little more confidence in that i might have it or not.(this all started with me just feeling sad for no reason for a good amount of time, and then i took some online tests, witch all said i had depression and i read more about it. And i have almost all the symptoms.) I just would like your opinon if i should go see a doctor and if i should tell my parents. By the way no one in my close famliy has any type of depession. I would love your feelings, Thanks!

Psychiatrist,  's  Response
Hi

I admire your positive outlook and congratulate you for the attitude.

Now I guess you have depression and it could be due to some stress in your personal life. In that case, you need some help
.
However let me give my opinion here.

I think a combination therapy of antidepressant and low benzodiazepine would help you. These drugs would help you a lot. You can try some relaxation exercise like JPMR or deep breathing exercise. That would keep you calm and relax.

For this you need expert's guidance by psychiatrist or psychologist .

Hope this helps.
