Read about depression under Conditions and Disorders on the very top bar of this page. Then you will know whether you have clinical depression and if so what to say to the doctor you are going to. Tell your parents you have to see a doctor, if you are still under their care. Reading about the disorder will also help you talk to them. There is a difference between being sad and being depressed. Meantime, there are some very wise people here [I'm not one of them], and we will help as much as we can! ~ billieJ
