Need doctor's help! i have severe depression but i don't know how to tell my parents?

Getting help?: Why do you fear sharing with your parents that you are depressed and hopefully that you are receiving treatment? Are they opposed to treatment of other kinds of illness? Can't say how best to tell them without knowing what you think their reaction might be and what causes you to think that would be their reaction. I encourage you to discuss your concerns in this regard with your psychotherapist.
