I'm 17. I've been depressed for four years and I have horrible panic attacks. I'm starting to think I'm bipolar because all the symptoms line up, but every time I bring it up with my parents they just laugh and tell me, "oh, nothing's wrong. you don't need help." or they start chucking bibles at me.

Um, hello? Dying here. I'll be 18 next September, but is there any way I can get to a doctor or something without them? Or medicine? I can't take feeling this way. Or even just a diagnoses would be fine. Just so I can say, for sure, that "I am bipolar". Anything.

So, advice?
