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?

You still tell them, do not hide your mental health, speak about them and seek out the same support they are giving your brother.

Evaluate your situation. think about how you could tell them you're struggling. whatever you do, Don't suffer in silence. I'm sure your parents love and care for you and only want the best. tell them you are struggling and can't do this alone. you shouldn't be doing this all by yourself.

You talk to them anyway. They love you. They will help you, just as much as your brother. But remember, you are always worth it♡

Talk to your parents and ask them if they can take you to get tested for depression if they think that you are only doing it for attention talk to another family member about it.

If you think you have depression, you should certainly tell your parents. They would understand that perhaps, after your brother came out to them about it, you felt more comfortable telling them. Make it clear to them that you genuinely be live that depression may be a part of your life, and you may consider getting help for it, and having your family support you, as they did for your brother.

I would tell your parents because even though your brother just got diagnosed you still matter to them and he's not just the number one priority if you feel the exact same way so I would tell them you feel the same as your brother and that you want to find out what is it and how you can be helped

If you feel like this and want help you should tell your parents, even if they might think its for attention or the depression isnt as heavy as your brothers.

My advice for you would be to go to a doctor, if possible to get an official diagnosis. That way, you can have documentation when it comes time to tell your parents. After that, search for a therapist or psychiatrist in your area.

Talk to them. Tell your parents will be a good step to take before the depression gets more. You can tell them genuinely your condition and how you feel and that you know it is a wrong time to say this but did had to tell them. It might be a little stressful for your parents but they can help you get over it. Good luck
