I think I’m depressed?
Question by Coolbeans!: I think I’m depressed?
I think I’m depressed, but I’m not sure. When I’m with my friends (at school) I’m usually laughing and having a good time because they make me forget about my problems. But the minute I’m alone I feel depressed…I don’t know if I’m TRULY depressed. And if I am, I can’t talk to my mom about it (I’ve tried) because she doesn’t really believe me.
Help would be appreciated.

You seem to suffer from depression! Talk to your family physician.
The first step to getting appropriate treatment, for depression or any other emotional problem, is a complete psychological evaluation to determine whether you have a depressive illness, and if so, what type of depression. Consultation with a psychologist will include a review of your physical health history. Some medications as well as some medical conditions can cause symptoms of depression, so your psychologist will ask your family physician to rule out these possibilities if other physical symptoms are evident.
Lastly, the psychological diagnostic evaluation will include a mental status examination to assess the full range of psychological symptoms and problems. This will help identify any other psychological problems that might be present, and will help determine the most appropriate treatment for you.
Treatment choice will depend on the outcome of the evaluation. Most people do well with psychotherapy, but some require treatment with antidepressants in addition to psychotherapy. Medication can allow you to to gain relatively quick symptom relief, if you are experiencing severe and disabling symptoms. However, medication does not “cure” the depression, it only treats the symptoms. If you are depressed, you need psychotherapy to help you to learn more effective ways to deal with life’s problems, and to change the negative thoughts and attitudes that have caused you to develop depression.
So make your first move.Dont wait too long before it get worse.
You are not alone,there is help around the corner,never give up.
God bless you.
