lets make it less scary..........ask to see a counselor. psychiatrist is a big leap and many people put a negative connotation of "crazy" on it....which is ridiculous by the way...but psychiatrists are pretty much all about prescribing meds these days. i think what you are wanting to do right now is to talk to someone to sort out your feelings regarding your inability to focus and depression. the inability to focus happens to be a hallmark of depression by the way. what you want is either a psychologist/PhD (best bet) or an LCSW/MFT. A good start for a recommendation is your counselor at school. that is even someone you could go talk to about this. they are trained as well. they could give you some ideas on how to talk to your parents or even talk to your parents with you. if the counselor thinks you need to see a psychiatrist, they will make that recommendation. if you need to talk more, feel free to private message me. take care.
