Hello. Currently I am only diagnosed with a couple of anxiety disorders, so.... yep.

Anyways, I have been depressed for the past 5 years due to high stress part of my parent's divorce (so I believe I would be diagnosed with depression and trauma/stressor NOS). I use to keep my feelings all to myself for 4 years, but I have learned at it's okay to tell people how you feel. I was too scared to do even that. I did do a screening for depression, but nothing was high but interpersonal issues from my social anxiety so that was fine. In my opinion, nothing was considered depression level because she said to answer from the past 2 weeks, and I wasn't experiencing MDD, but I think it's pervasive depressive disorder, which only needs to last a year in teens, and it has lasted for 5. My mood would be atypical though because things do make me happy.

Anyways, I was going to wait until I was an adult without dealing with the divorce issues anymore kinda, but now it's getting worse because old wounds are reopening because the divorce issues have gotten worse than before and now I am seeing a lawyer because of it. And I'm only a teen. I have been super stressed and depressed because of all these issues and I don't think I can control it anymore. I feel sad inside, but I don't want to show it. I want to get help for it, but I don't want my parents to know they are causing me all this stress that had changed my mood negatively.

So do you guys think I should tell my pdoc? I am getting into a new place soon and they are going to probably rescreen me anyways so... I really don't want my parents to know this though, and since I'm under 18, I feel like they have to. What should I do? Thanks.
