Other than the natural, herbal stuff mentioned by one answerer, there are no anti-depressant medications available over the counter. Due to the nature of mental disorders the meds need to be prescribed by a supervising physician.
Why are you so sure your parents will yell at you? Don't they care about your health? If you had a broken leg would they yell at you and deny you medical treatment? You can always see a school counsellor or psychologist as a place to start as well. But you should at least try to tell your parents.
You can also try seeing your doctor - any good doctor will see you about this kind of thing even if your parents don't know or you don't immediately have money for payment.
Suicide and cutting are SERIOUS indications of a life-threatening mental disorder! You may be right about it being clinical depression. Read up on it more in the wiki link below. You need to get on this RIGHT AWAY.
You're probably right about needing meds, but you need to go through the right process with this kind of thing. You need:
1) Diagnosis (what do you have based on symptoms)
2) Treatment (therapy with a psychologist and meds from a psychiatrist are the best combination)
3) Support from parents, friends, etc..
FYI I have had clinical depression on and off for 15 years.
Good luck to you!
you really really really need to tell your parents. if they yell at you and stuff then you need to tell a doctor. you cant get them over the counter.
Seek a Dr's help......There is nothing over the counter that can help.
I don't think there are any.
You really need to speak with a doctor or a counselor.
They can make your parents understand that you have a medical condition.
Go and talk to your doctor, please. They cannot tell your parents without your consent. No effective anti-depressants are available without prescription.
You can try herbal supplements such as St John's Wort, Omega 3 oils, SAM-e, valerian root and 5-HTP.
