Answers:
I believe that there is no "best way" to approach your father!. The next time you see your father and he seems calm or peacefull, you should talk to him!. Tell him about how you feel, and tell him that think you're depressed!. However, be ready for many possibly reactions!.
Your father could be: understanding, angry, annoyed, hysterical!.
Honestly, if you feel that you aren't ready, then talk to one of your friends or a counselor of any sort!. Trust me, any kind of help greatly eases the depressed mood!.

I suffered depression for 2 years before admitting to myself I had a problem!. Don't be ashamed!. The first step to recovery is admitting you have a problem, so at least you're there!. I have been taking Zoloft (50 milligrams) for 1!.5 years and love it!. I feel happy and less stressed about things!. Just tell your dad you feel like you havent been yourself lately, and think its serious!. You want to see a doctor before it gets worse!. If your dad loves you, he would want to you be happy, and would want to see you get help!. Getting help was the best thing I've done for myself, and I sincerely hope you do the same thing!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
Print out some of the articles you read and highlight the parts that apply to you!. Hand them to your Dad and tell him: "Please look this over so we can talk about it when you have time!."
