Start bringing up the topic of feeling sad and feeling down for a while so you can see how they react to it. See what they think is wrong first, then tell them you think you're depressed.

Talking with parents about depression takes courage and willingness to open up. It may feel awkward sharing personal feelings with parents in a way that you haven't done since you were younger — or perhaps at all.

Its better to sit them down and talk things through camly. Let them also know that this is a serious matter and you need their help to solve it as they are your parents. At the same time any parent would help there child through any problem so do trust and believe in them.

When I did it, I told my mom that I needed to tell her something in private, so we went upstairs and sat down. I was very nervous at first but I told her flat out that I thought I was depressed and told her that I wanted a counsellor, and professional help for someone to talk to about it. She was very supportive.

This is a really hard question.... Because some people find it really difficult to tell people because they are afraid of something 😔 But I find that telling your parents or parent that your depressed is abit hard but it's different for everyone 😊

Just be honest with them. If you think they won't understand, try telling them how you feel. It takes a lot of courage, but usually important things do. It's good to have your parents supporting you and understanding how you feel!

Its sometimes useful trying to get on parent's shoes and put your thoughts out in a way that would make them pay the appropriate attention towards you.

Explain to them that you're not coping too well at the moment and are struggling with low mood. Perhaps they can help to lift your mood and support you in setting by up a network of support when you do feel this way.

Sometimes, the best thing to do is tell them that you need help, straight out. Doing that, is strong. Asking for help is a sign of strength.

The best thing is just to say it, try not to find a perfect moment or anything, just let those words out
