Hi guys,

I'm gonna be going to the doctors again for help with my depression.
I usually let my boyfriend do all the talking but I think, this time, I want to go in alone and explain the extent to which it affects my life.

I ideally just want to try out medication without therapy (complications with university and parents)

When I was in there before (for an ED problem) I looked at his screen and it did say "moderate depression"

I've gotten a lot worse though, can't even sleep or function that well..

ANYWAY my point is
Shall I just go in and say "Hi, I want help for my depression. It's really affecting my life negatively and significantly" or shall I not define it as depression?

I was on fluoxetine before but didn't stay on it long enough as parents were against it.
Could I just ask to be back on them?

I guess I could use some encouragement too!
