Answers:
You seem to suffer from depression! Talk to your family physician!.

The first step to getting appropriate treatment, for depression or any other emotional problem, is a complete psychological evaluation to determine whether you have a depressive illness, and if so, what type of depression!. Consultation with a psychologist will include a review of your physical health history!. Some medications as well as some medical conditions can cause symptoms of depression, so your psychologist will ask your family physician to rule out these possibilities if other physical symptoms are evident!.

Lastly, the psychological diagnostic evaluation will include a mental status examination to assess the full range of psychological symptoms and problems!. This will help identify any other psychological problems that might be present, and will help determine the most appropriate treatment for you!.

Treatment choice will depend on the outcome of the evaluation!. Most people do well with psychotherapy, but some require treatment with antidepressants in addition to psychotherapy!. Medication can allow you to to gain relatively quick symptom relief, if you are experiencing severe and disabling symptoms!. However, medication does not "cure" the depression, it only treats the symptoms!. If you are depressed, you need psychotherapy to help you to learn more effective ways to deal with life's problems, and to change the negative thoughts and attitudes that have caused you to develop depression!.

So make your first move!.Dont wait too long before it get worse!.
You are not alone,there is help around the corner,never give up!.
God bless you!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

She is in a little denial!. The cutting and thoughts of death are serious if you tell her that it might be enough to get to a doctor!. If you are school aged go to the psychologist at school to get the ball rolling, if you are finished with school make an appointment with a psychologist and get there without your mom's support!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

You've gotten some good comments here!.

May I add talking to the school counselor or teacher about this!. Tell them that you want to see a doctor!. Your mom will take you!.

You could also call the doctors office yourself if you can find the number!. Tell them you are depressed, how old you are, and you need to speak to a nurse!.

Good Luck!. Let us know how you are doing!. I'm sure Yahoo Answers will make an exception to the rule on this one!

Will think of you often!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

There are online sites where you can take a quiz geared toward depression, take one of the quizzes and give your mom the results!.
Tell your mom that you are thinking about death!.
Tell your mom that you are cutting (or thinking about it)!.
My daughter and I have gone through this!. I know it was hard for her to tell me, but I'm so glad she did!. We got her help and she is so much better!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Tell your school counselor what you wrote here!. Tell your mom that you MUST see your doctor!. She loves you and, of course, she doesn't want bad things to happen to her child!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
