Should I go to the doctors for my depression

So I've had depression for a long time, nothing that a little bottleing up of emotions can't fix. I'm not emo or attention whore depression. I've never said anything to my family because I know they would blow it out of proportion. But it's getting really bad at this point and I feel like I need help. I heard that depression is just a chemical imbalance in my brain and stuff and if it really is that much then I should only need pills or something right? so should I go to the doctors or not and if I do what will they do with me?

Talk to your doctor about it. They'll most likely prescribe you pills which can be a 50/50 on making your depression better/worst. Most likely if you aren't getting better, the doctor will switch you off the medication. Either way you should just talk to your doctor about it.

that's where you're wrong kiddo. At least for me. I went down that path, slowly losing more and more energy and enjoyment until one day my concentration and motivation were too shit to function regularly and everything that mattered went to hell. Don't let things get that bad, get help. Doctors these days are very used to dealing with depression. They'll probably ask you some questions, get you to fill out a few questionnaires, and then talk to you some more. They then might get you a prescription, or more likely recommend you to a psychiatrist and counselor.

But the part I'm afraid of is the question and the people. What if I answer them wrong? What if the counselors think I'm not when I am? What my family treats me differently? That's why I'm so afraid of going.

Just go on pills and don't tell your family.

just be honest and they're basically no chance they'll deny you the help you need. And it's much better for people to know you're depressed and being treated than to just seem like a worthless person
