I am a mom and a grandmom, so I can only offer you this idea - sometimes it is super hard for a mom to recognize what is right in front of her, mostly because she probably has no earthly idea what to do. That is a big case of denial going on, don't you think? My suggestion is to simply keep saying the same thing over and over and over again, something really simple like "mom, I'm really depressed and I want to see a doctor" or "mom, I'm really depressed and I don't know why and I want to see a psychologist" Because even though that is NOT the whole story, it may be enough information for her to start to handle this by getting you into a doctor and then you can have a private discussion with the doctor. What do you think? Or maybe another adult? an aunt or uncle? or do you have any older siblings? or a teacher? or someone at church?
