How can I tell my parents that I think I'm depressed?

Well I know that's a very hard thing to do , when it's the right time sit them down talk to the them about it , I pray that everything does great , have a nice day ! 💕

Tell them clearly how you´re feeling, It could be that at first they might not understand you or might not accept how you are feeling but explain in a way that they´ll understand and then you can possibly find proper help for you together with your parents.

I know that if I was the parent I would be grateful if my child came to me and told me if they thought they might be depressed. Of course each situation is unique, but assuming a normal caring relationship between parent and child, the parent should be the first person to go to when a child has problems. They will have the child's best interests at heart and will try to do what they can to understand the problem and help to obtain help and support. So I'd say, please be brave and tell your parents directly. Being depressed is nothing to be ashamed of. We all experience mental health problems. Probably the parents themselves have had some experiences of depression. Many children do experience depression; some of it is caused by the hormonal changes that we undergo during puberty. Just knowing this can be a comfort, because eventually everything balances up again.

Telling your parents about your depression can be different for different people. It's best to match it to not only your personal preference, but to what you think theirs would be as well. Some people choose to just sit them down and tell them what they're experiencing. Some find it difficult to be that straight up, so they find something they can relate to regarding how depression feels and show it to them. There's lots of ways you could possibly take on the situation. It's easier if the way you present this information to your parents matches how they'd rather hear it as well. For example, some parents like it when their children are straight up with them. Other parents have a hard time dealing with a load of information like this at once. There's lots of ways you could do it, but things will work out more smoothly if you consider their feelings as well as your own.

Find a time when everyone is calm and not too busy, if possible. Gently let them know that you'd like to talk to them and when they're listening, state clearly and simply that you think you're depressed. It may seem terrifying to do so, but stating things plainly can reduce confusion or misunderstanding in the future. For those of us who worry about talking face to face, you may wish to write them a letter for them to read when they have time to do so.

It's best to just get it out, sit them down and explain to them exactly how you feel. Tell them how long you've been feeling this way and ask them if you are able to take the next step and seek help. A lot of parents aren't too good at comprehending their children having issues, especially when they're unable to see them themselves. Best wishes.

It is completely up to you how you want to tell your parents but, a great way is to write a letter explaining how you feel and what help and support you need. A letter will give your parents time to process what you are saying and then they can talk to you about it whenever they feel ready to.

How do your parents view mental health issues? Are they accepting and supportive of it? Or are they dismissive and minimizing of mental health? Seeing where they come from will affect how you approach them.

If you're comfortable with speaking to them I'd suggest talking to them both when they are together, perhaps at dinner when you're all together or when it's quiet and just you both. If they're quite busy, or you don't feel comfortable with telling them face to face perhaps a letter or email or even a text would be a nice way to tell them. Explain how you're feeling, and how long you've been feeling that way and that you would like some help and support.
