Suggest Treatment For Depression

I can never be happy. I want to chase my dreams but my parents want me to do something else and make me feel like a failure even though I keep my grades good for them. I don t want to be something I don t want to be in the future, I just simply want to do what I love doing the most. Also, I just want to fit in and have someone that I can trust.

Dear
Welcome to HCM
We understand your concerns

I went through your details. Please do rephrase your first statement from "I can never be happy", to "I can always be happy". That is what is life all about. There is a galore of unhappiness out there. You should always think about those without home, without food, without physical organs, handicapped, suffering from diseases etc when you say I am not happy. You have good grades and you feel unhappy. I think your attitude towards and life should take make over. Your self esteem has taken a beating. This could be disappointment. You should be able to distinguish between disappointment and depression. Disappointment also brings on symptoms identical to depression but they are short lived. Were you disappointed in the near past? I suggest you to consult a psychologist for counseling.
