Is there any way I can get antidepressants without having to tell my parents

I am 15 and I have been depressed for the past two years. I don't want to tell my parents because they will tell me to suck it up. What can I do?

The next time you have to go to the Dr. for anything talk to him about it. In front of ur parents or not. I believe there would be less drug use and other problems if teens and parents were aware of depression and it's symptoms. You don't kow if you do need them til you ask. And it may only be something you need for a brief time.

If you've been diagnosed with depression I think your parents know. Be better if you suck in your pride and tell your parents of your situation.
I bet they will support you and go on loving you.
