Hi,I am Dr. Alexander H. Sheppe (Psychiatrist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I was wondering if you could help me know if I am depressed or not. I don't know what's wrong with me and I'm tired of being sad all the time, it seems like I don't care about anything anymore and my grades are getting lower everyday. The stress over whelms me and I am scared of the future. I don't really know if this is a question but I think it is. I don't know what to do if I am and I am terrified I am, I'm scared to talk to my parents or a doctor. I thought if this could help I would try it, I just need to know.
