Should I tell my mum about the appointment to the doctor? I seem to be having symptoms of depression...

Question - (24 September 2008) 2 Answers - (Newest, 24 September 2008)
A female United Kingdom age 30-35, anonymous writes:

My best friend of 5 years (who used to be severely depressed but has come out of the other end) has recognised immense symptoms of depression in me - and has done for the last 3 years. We agreed, after a lot debate, that i'd go to the doctors. I have an appointment next friday.

My best friend is basically my dad - although not biologically. He's a better dad than my real one ever was, thus - he's my dad. My mum knows how close I am to him and she doesn't mind.

I can't talk to my mum. She doesn't 'know' offically, from me, about my depression - although I suspect she has strong suspicions. Should I tell her about the appointment?

You need to tell your mum. She can help you so much. Over the last year or two I have been in the same situation. One of my friends suspected it and I took her advice and I went to someone that i knew could help. I didnt tell my mum and it made things worse because she got worried which gave stress. Telling your mum would be best for everyone.
