you don't need to hide your problem!.
tell your parents, there isn't any way for you to get an antidepressant without your parents consent!.!.!.PLUS they need to know because you're on their health insurance!.!.!.so you need that card and pay a copay everytime you go in to see the doc!.!.!.and the pills would be VERY expensive!.

don't be ashamed!.
YOU NEED TO SEE YOUR FAMILY DOCTOR
seriously!. they're not gonna think you're a freak, i promise!.
you're putting more pressure on yourself by not wanting to tell your parents!.!.!.!.that's the ONLY way you're going to get help!.!.


edit----
first off!.!.!.mental disorders ARE NOT ILLNESSES!.
that person is a quack!. mental disorders can NOT be cured!.
i'm sorry but it's the truth!. i'm not saying that without a heart, i am 17 and have bipolar disorder[type I severe mania] and ADHD!.!.!.!.i take medicine for both every damn day and sadly i will have to take it the rest of my life!.!.!.but i got over that a long time ago[was off of my stimulants while developing BP!.!.!.soo when i was diagnosed with BP i was also put back on adderall xr!.!.this was last march] but i know it's nothing to be ashamed about!. NO you do not have a damn illness!. if you do then i do!.!.!.but i'm not sick!. neither are you!. we are NOT diseased!. we are not crazy!. we are NOT freaks!. we are not psychos!. we are not sick!.

If you are on your parent's insurance, they will get some sort of invoice no matter which doctor you go to; however, the invoice may not say exactly what you went in for!. If you tell your family doctor you are depressed and would like to see a psychiatrist he can give you a referral, and under most circumstances, your physician is required by law to keep this information private!. So if you are worried about schoolmates, coworkers, or family members finding out, in most circumstances they will not be informed without your consent!. You should just see your family doctor and talk about the situation with him/her, and your doc will be able to you who he will or will not tell if you seek treatment and get you referred to a doctor than can help you with your depression!. if you go to the emergency room they will most likely want to talk to your primary physician about it anyway!. However, if you are having suicidal thoughts, then you need to see the Dr!. ASAP and you should go to the emergency room or tell someone if you're thinking about hurting yourself in any way!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

I commend you for thinking about ways to get help if your depressed!. Depression is an illness that can be cured!. You don't have to live feeling that way!.
