Hello, im a 16 yr old and ive heard that its common in teens to get depressed.. now are these some side effects ??
"Mood swings, unhappy, sad, crying atleast twice three times a week,slow in voice and thinking, tierdness, and just.. feel so empty and lifeless somedays"
(( these are things that have been happening to me for over 7 months now.. ))
Im only happy to a point, the only time im slightly happy is when im with my fiance and some days im just crying from feelings of just lonelyness.. no im not lonely i just feel that way often =[
Also, can axiety increase depression? I find myself thinking about alot of things constantly at night like..
" hey if i do this tommoorw it would be cool :D.. oh no then theres a possiability, of this happening or that happening!"
and then i think about it all night till i cry myself to sleep or just eventualy pass out from laying there so long.
If this is depression, are there other ways to get releif then turning to medications?? Im trying to stay away from these types of medications scince ive heard some dont work.. and well i dont want to go to my mother and say " hey mom im depressed you should take me to the doctors to get meds for it! " i dont know if she'd be upset or not..
I just want help,,,
Can you answer back asap?..
Thank you for those who are going to give me some type of information x.x

I don't think it's common for teens to be depressed. Is there anything that led up to you feeling this way, a divorce, school problems, things like that?
You do sound like you have depression and anxiety. These can go hand in hand a lot of times. Therapy would probably really help you. Talk to your mom and tell her how your feeling. My daughter had severe depression as a teen so I can relate. We're here for you. Remar
