Doctors? Issues?

[Anonymous]

Okay so I have a lot going on in my life atm I'm 15 (idk how to change my age on here but it's the least of my problems) basically wow I have a lot to say so I'm just going to try and summon it up! My mum was an alcoholic she got told to leave last year so she left and my dad lost his job last year but yeah and I'm having a good life I've got my dad and siblings it's all calm! But I think I have depression like I tried a questionnaire and it said severe depression and I think I have a little anxiety too! Not only that I sort of have symptoms of pcos hirsutism etc and I don't know if I should go to the doctors about the pcos problem even if I want to I don't know what to tell my dad because I'm sort of the only girl in the house (I have a baby sis) but yeah I just don't know what to do really, I was thinking about going to the doctor in 9 months about the pcos situation because then I'll be free from school and have more time but yeah!

You could speak to your school nurse or a friend's mom about your symptoms. But PCOS tends to only get worse over time if left untreated, so if you truly think you might have it, you should ask your dad to make you a doctor's appointment. It may seem a little awkward at first, but he's your parent, and I am sure he does want to know what's going on so that he can help you!

Maybe you should see an actual doctor. They'll be able to get you to a psychologist that can say whether you have depression/anxiety. If you answer one of those questions differently on those questionnaires it will automatically tell you have something. I know because I did a research paper about it in my psychology class. But don't ignore it, get it checked out.

whatever you do dont take anti depressants if you doctor tries and prescribes them to you
