Question:
How do I tell my parents that I need to talk to a psychiatrist?
Keep in mind that they are not the most understanding people on earth.
Answers:
This can be a very difficult thing to do. I myself was in the same boat once. What you have to understand going into it is that they are your parents, they care about your well being, and if there is something wrong, they would like nothing more than to fix it.
Even if they are not the most understanding, your health should still matter to them. Be sure to tell them all of your symptoms. When talking to them, try to inform them rather than persuade them.
If the talk goes well, it will most likely be a long one that will pull you together.
