Why do i only get depressed at night?!


Question: Why do i only get depressed at night!?
I'm such a happy person with problems like everyone else, but at night i feel really awkward and depressed and alone!. The same feeling happens at the beginning of fall!. I just get this depressing feeling!. It makes me want to cry but i don't!.!.!. Whereas in the summer or during the day, i am completely fine!. What's wrong!?

And if something IS wrong, how do i explain it to my parents!? I'm only 15 and they will probably pass this off as hormones!. I don't think I'm depressed, am I!? I feel like itWww@Answer-Health@Com


Answers:
I get that way too, and I have been put on anti-dreprssants and see a therapist!.
I think it's great that you want help, that's a sighn of real strength!. The way I'd bring it up to your parents is something like:
sit them down and say,
"mom, dad, I think I have a problem!. At night I get really sad!. It's not normal!. I don't feel normal!. It could be nothing but I'd feel a lot better if I could go talk to a proffesional and see what they think!."
Be mature and reasonable and your parents should respect your wishes!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

You may have Seasonal Affective Disorder!? It's a type of depression thought to be triggered by a lack of sunlight (i!.e!. the fall and winter seasons, as there are fewer hours of sunlight during the day)!. Treatments include light therapy (80% of people with SAD get some benefit from the use of light therapy**) and/or antidepressants!.
