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

just explain to them what you are feeling... describe your symptoms. you shouldnt be afraid to talk to your parents.

I believe it is best to sit down and just talk to them. If it’s hard for you to get it out let them know. Tell them that you don’t know how to say this and it’s hard for you to get out. Let them know exactly how you are feeling. Let them know about the symptoms you are having that lead you to lead you to think that you have depression. Don’t be afraid to let you feelings out. Tell them everything. They need to know exactly how you feel and exactly what’s going on in order to help you. Good luck

You can tell your parents you think your depressed by sitting down with them and having a normal mature conversation. If they see you are responsible and act like a adult then they will see you as one. Sometimes your parents just want the best for you and from that only see the good so it may be hard for them to accept it. You just have to explain to them how you have been feeling recently and why. If you open up to them they may come to see what you have been going through without them knowing it.

Just go to them and say it out! Plain and simple. I mean it is hard but in the end you got to do what you got to do. They might not understand straight so you got to find adequate situation and then start talking to them. First bring them into a normal conversation and then say it, or during an on going conversation, take your time and express what you are going through. If you don't find any of the above suitable for your situation then ask one of your siblings who you think is close to your parents, or one of your close friend who is well known to your parents as well.

Telling your parents that you think you may be depressed is difficult. Just tell them what has been going on, start with the basics. Take it slow and easy, do not try to rush through the conversation quickly. It can be embarising in the moment but it will pay off in the end. Telling them how long you have been feeling this way is also an important thing to tell them. You also might like to provide examples of how you feel and some of the things that make you feel bad or worse. Be prepared to get all kinds of questions, my parents had a lot but now that I've told them things have gotten better. Remember, you are strong.

It's tough to tell parents about how we teens feel. But always remember parents will always be ready to help you and they keep the power of reviving you from any problem.

There are a number of ways to tell your parents that you think you are depressed. You can have a one on one conversation with them, but of that seems too daunting then you can write them a note or letter, text them, send them an email, do it over a phone call, or even get somebody else to do it for you. It is important to consider what you say to them, as well. You should not downplay your problems, but try not to make them panic if there is no need for it. If you stay calm, then chances are they will stay calm as well. It is also important to be direct with them about what you need and what they can do to support you.

Be honest with them. Tell them how you're feeling and thinking and bring them the facts of depression and compare those facts to the symptoms you think you have been experiencing. If you approach them educated about depression, they are more likely to listen as you do know what you're talking about. It's important for them to understand your situation so help them understand by letting them know as much as you are comfortable telling them. Once you take some time to think about what you'll say, tell them you have something important to speak to them about and set aside time for there to be a conversation.

telling your parents that you are depressed is very hard. sometimes parent react in different ways. many can ignore it say it part of life they get though it or it just a bad day. some may dismiss and simply not believe it. some will deny it and think its a joke. some other may take it to hard and will make the person more depressed. i feel that there is no right way or wrong way, however that depends on how well you know your parents. i think that letting them know little by little and proving yourself to them can help.

The first thing I think you should do before telling your parents you think you're depressed is to prepare yourself emotionally. You're probably going to feel worried about their reactions, think about different scenarios that might happen, and that's completely natural. Try to calm yourself down before you decide to start the conversation. You should also think of how and when you want to tell them. You don't want to start the conversation when your parents are in a bad mood, which can result in them not thinking clearly or reacting differently than they would have normally. Make sure your parents are calm, and can think clearly. Sorting out your thoughts on all of this ahead of time will hopefully make you feel more prepared when the situation arrives, and perhaps make you worry a bit less. When you've finally prepared yourself enough emotionally, and found the right time to tell them, and feel comfortable saying how you feel: tell them. You could start the conversation with "I have something to tell you, I think I'm depressed because..." or "I need help, I think I'm depressed because..." or in any other way. Tell them in a way that makes you feel the most comfortable so that you can articulate yourself properly, and explain how you really feel so that they can understand you, or at least try to. If you are thinking of telling your parents about your mental health problems, I hope this has helped you a bit, and I hope that it goes well. :)
