At what point do you tell someone you think you need to be professionally diagnosed with depression?

At any point! Sometimes it is helpful to talk it out with someone you trust. If you know you need help, please don't hesitate to get it. You may feel immensely better after being professional diagnosed, as you will be validated and hopefully receive the help that you need. I wish you the best of luck!

I think just about anyone can learn from having a life coach or therapist, so I'm not really shy about suggesting someone seek professional help if they seem to be suffering for long.. just make sure you don't label the person as being somehow "other" that "people like me" because of the diagnosis, if it comes, people with depression are still diverse human beings, they just happen to have a sometimes temporary imbalance, and sometimes permanent imbalance in the brain.. and they still have many parts of their lives that are meaningful and worthwhile and can be great friends and people in general.

If you feel fatigued upset, as well as if you no longer wish to do things you once loved, seek help.

At any point when you think you are having depression. The later you wait, the worse its gonna get.

If you are asking this question, then this is the point. If there is any concern about anything, it is always good to get it checked out as soon as you are concerned about something.

When you start feeling down a lot and it gets hard to handle or if your parents notice. If you are feeling depressed ask your parents to see if they can get you to see a doctor.

when they feel the need to harm themselves, or are sad for no reason, it can be a bunch of reasons.

I would say you should talk to a professional when it is overwhelming and is starting to affect your every day activities.

If you begin to feel overwhelmed by your depression it is time to reach out and tell people you wish to be professionally diagnosed, there is never a bad time to open up to someone. No reason is too small, it's important to remember it is NOT shameful to seek help, it is very brave!

when they are unable to be reasonable to accept that they are worth something and people care about them. When the first thing that comes to mind is self harm or sad thoughts
