I've been experiencing depression since 7th grade (3 years ago, i'm in 10th grade now). I've been just about failing every grade and I have a hard time concentrating. I've never seen a doctor about it at all or anything. And I mentioned something to my mom about it, (she works in the same netwok as a bunch of doctors, a hospital, and other things so she gets really good discounts) and she said she would look into my school councelor, but in highschool they could care less about those things, since they have about 400 students since in just my grade we have about 1,200 students. Ahhh, that's insane.

But my mom said it would cost to go to the counsellor and she doesn't want to spend alot of money. And I've been so badly depressed that it led to SI'ing and I don't want to ruin my last 2 years of highschool.

How much would it therapy cost?

Do you think I need the thereapy?
