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

The easiest way is to rip it off like a Plaster. You could write a letter but it is easier and less complicated to do so face to face. Good luck.

Feeling depressed happens to many people. Your parents would love to know how your feeling. Start with a hug...that is a healing gesture that works both ways. Plus the hug will feel awesome for you and awesome feeds courage.

I'm sorry to hear that you've been struggling. To tell your parents that you've been depressed, it would be best to find a time when you can speak to them privately and calmly. If you're nervous, it can help to plan out what you want to say. You can explain to them what you've been feeling recently and ask for help. Please don't be afraid to ask about seeing a therapist. If you need professional help, it is accessible.

Be open with your feelings. Explain your emotions and symptoms. Also tell them why you think you are feeling this way.

A good first step is making a plan. Perhaps you sit them down after dinner and let them know how you're feeling as honestly as you are comfortable being.

Talking to your parents can be hard, the best thing is to be direct and honest there there for you. They care about you.

Be honest with them and tell them that you had been feeling low for a while and you would like to get some help. Keeping a mood diary is helpful and improves therapy besides helping to figure out what might cause the depression.

this can be a difficult situation... perhaps begin with "i've been feeling..." and let them see how they react. then tell them how long it's been going on and ask if there's anything you can do to attempt to feel better. bring up therapy and talk things through. remain calm and be clear on how you are/ have been feeling

Talk to them when they are in a good mood and maybe try and link it into a program you like to watch as a family. E.g "hey mum/dad, did you know that (a person from the TV) suffered from mental health issues?". Try to gage their reactions and continue the conversation further if you feel comfortable.

Come up with a list of points that you want to address, and ask them to sit down with you to talk. Make sure that you aren't doing it on a day when the conversation has time restraints or in a public setting. Understand that they might have difficulties wrapping their minds around the idea and be patient when describing your emotions and feelings.
