I'm not sure that they would tell your parents. To break confidientiality (in the UK) the patient has to be in real danger of significant harm. If you told him you were going to kill yourself, he'd tell your parents, but generally for self harm they dont straight away. They like to keep an eye on it.

For your first appointment he will ask you questions about what problems you are currently experiencing so he can get to know you better.

	Isn’t it funny how day by day nothing changes but when you look back, everything is different… you once called your brain a hard drive, well say hello to the virus.
