A member asked:
Am i allowed to get antidepressants at age 16 without parental consent?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Young wanting help: As you are under 18yo, your doctor may or may not ask for parental consent. Depending on your state, the doctor may have the right to provide confidential treatment to you (adolescent access to confidential health services, call advocates for youth, 202.419.3420). You can legally become "emancipated", but must move out and demonstrate complete financial independence (www.Lawyers.Com for help).
