Hey ya'll, I'm Angie and I'm 18. I just recently found out it's a huge possibility I am severely depressed but I'm not sure how to approach this to my Mom. She keep telling me how expensive counseling is and then focuses on herself. I don't have my own health insurance or else I wouldn't worry much about price but since that's not the case I have no choice but to sit here and allow my situation to become worse. I talk to my Guidance Counselor at school once in a while but he doesn't help me that much, should I ask my physician about medical treatment or should I just go straight to a psychologist?
