I'm confused. I can be happy and hyper and a normal teenager, but I also can be withdrawn, isolated, quiet, and very very sad.

In the past, I have tried to talk to my mom about it, and she blew me off. She suffers from depression, and I think my older brother does as well. I find myself crying my eyes out for no reason, and trying to hide it because I'm embarrassed...

I'm afraid to tell my parents anything, and only my best friend knows. Shes being supportive and trying to get me to tell my parents, because she's been diagnosed and is doing much better now. Can anyone give me advice?

Hello Sarah,
Your description about yourself does not show any sign of depression. However, it was not a detailed characterization...
Changing of mood is not depression. It is quite natural in your age.
Please, fill in the Teenage Depression Test and let me know your score.
