Teenager Suffering From Depression And Bipolar Disorder. Suicide Attempts. Need Help
I think I need to speak to a therapist since I don't think I'm nowhere near fine or healthy. I've thought of suicide a lot and I've attempted it a few times. Even though I haven't been diagnosed, I'm 100% sure something's wrong with me. I've took online tests and read about the symptoms and most of them say I have major depression and that I'm bipolar. And my eating habits aren't normal too. I'm a girl, I'm almost 14 and I don't know what to do or how to approach my parents.

Hi,
Thanks for using healthcare magic.
You should talk to your parents with your symptoms.
You need psychiatric consultation for detailed evaluation and management. Doctor may rule out physical causes like hypothyroidism.
Doctor may advise you to go for counselling sessions or may advise you to start medication depending upon your evaluation.
Meanwhile you can do stress management and self relaxation exercise for better control over stress.
Thanks.
