I think I have depression and I want to tell my parents but my brother recently got diagnosed so I feel like they would think that I'm just trying to get attention. What do I do?

They are your parents. They will understand and they have the right to know.depression should not be ignored after all. Plus you need to confirm weather its depression or you are just feeling low.

Tell them anyway. Explain to them that your fears that this might just look like an attention grab, but that it's not. If you're legit concerned about yourself like this, it's best to ask to speak with a doctor, just to be sure. Your parents would much rather you tell them, then have you suffer, promise.

If you're genuinely feeling about your condition the right step is to talk with your parents..take some time though and let them take care of your brother before you go tell them about yourself. They may think whatever but being your parents they'll help you out in the end

Hello there! I know, there's a chance of being misinterpreted. But getting help is really important too.
How is your brother now? Is it possible to talk to him about this? I think he might be able to relate with you.
Or, do you have any other family members to whom you are comfortable to talk with?

Tell them anyway, it's important to be honest and to seek help when you need it. If they think you're only trying to get attention then you may have to find ways of getting help that don't involve your parents assistance, but at least then they can't say you didn't try to let them know.

I think that asking for help is always the best option. I think your parents would want to help both of their children

If you suspect you have depression, you need to start a conversation. Having an illness is not a cry for attention. You need to open a discussion with them so you can get help. I know it is scary, but you deserve to be happy and healthy.
