Hi,I am Dr. Alexander H. Sheppe (Psychiatrist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I think I may have depression. I had a mad moment when I was in bed when I was thinking to myself how easy it would be to kill myself but at the same time I knew I wouldn't. School has suddenly become a lot more stressful and harder than usual so my grades are falling and my mum and dad are really disappointed. I'm worried about telling them because they will properly think that I'm making excuses. What do I do.
I went through your details. You are worried about your school and studies. Please realize, there are other things which will come in future, which are more stressful. How are you going to tackle them? You should be able to distinguish between disappointment and depression. Disappointment also brings on symptoms identical to depression but they are short lived. I suggest you to consult a psychologist for counseling.
