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

First you could always talk to them one at a time if you feel uncomfortable talking to both of them at the same time. Tell them what you are experiencing and feeling and that you think you should get some professional help. I'm sure they will come to understand you if you tell them what's going on.

Simple, tell them the truth. The first step towards not only gaining support and acceptance, is by being honest with yourself as well as with the ones close to you.

'Hi parents, I think I'm depressed.' I know it's a really hard conversation to have. It can be terrifying to acknowledge that things aren't going well. You might be worried about how your parents will respond. Will they be accepting? Will they dismiss your feelings? WIll they understand? It's hard to know because of course, I don't know your parents. But the only way you can find out is to tell your parents. If talking to them face to face is too hard, you could write to them in a letter or online too. I hope you get the support you need from them, but if not, know there are other supports out there here at 7 Cups!

There's no easy way to do this, you should just approach and be honest and try to give them reasons why you are depressed so they can help you

Please do not assume things cause depression can only be diagnosed by a professional,if you want to visit one,try sharing your feelings with them first and tell them that you need help

Sit them down and tell them you have been feeling down all the time or most of the time and that you want to get help. If it makes it easier text one of them and say it or write them a letter

Explain how you feel, tell them you believe it's a concern, you are the one who knows yourself best

Talking to your parents can be difficult, but you should be open minded and know that your parents were your first friends. Sit down with your parents and express how you feel and what's making you feel that way.

Sit down with them and express your true feelings. If they don’t believe your depressed try and taking to them again but NEVER GIVE UP

Maybe don't directly tell them you're depressed, but rather tell them how you actually feel. "I can't sleep at night", "I'm not motivated for anything", "I'm always tired". They'll understand what it is, and you'll feel more comfortable with it too.
