Who do I talk to about depression? I have been told by friends that they think I’m showing signs of depression, and I haven’t exactly been myself lately. Who do I talk to to find out if I am depressed? Help I’m confused and life is hard

I’ve been there, and the first step is just telling someone qualified, your doctor or a therapist. When I was in a rough patch last year, even tiny tasks felt huge; I remember spending an afternoon stressed about a medical supply order and looking up Medicom customer service https://www.pissedconsumer.com/company/medicom/customer-service.html instead of resting. That’s when I knew I needed real help, not just answers to random problems. You don’t have to figure this out alone. See More A GP can point you to counseling or psychiatry, and there are crisis lines if you need immediate support. You’re worth the effort.

Talk to a trusted adult, parent, school counselor, doctor, or mental health professional. You don’t need to figure this out alone, and reaching out is an important first step toward support.

Whichever adult you can trust the most. Lie some said a doctor, or your parents can help you too.

talk to a doctor first then they'll probably give your parents a list of psychologists/therapists to call. but doctors are you safest bet

(this is how the process is going for me. it may be different in some cases but this is a broad explanation)

Tell your parents how you feel and tell them what you think. They'd probably call a doctor, and you can talk to them about your symptoms of depression. I don't know exactly how you feel right now, but just know that there is always a light at the end of the tunnel. :)

um, a doctor...???

Talk to someone you trust. Like a sibling.If your not sure still talk about what is happing and see if they can help you.
