If its a diagnosis you're after, only a doctor can do that. Doctors have to keep everything you tell them confidential, irrespctive of age unless a) you are considered a serious risk to yourself or others b) thye are asked for information by criminal justice system c) you are aged under 16 AND they believe you are not competent enough to understand the treatment or illness (unlikely) d) you give them your permission to disclose information.
As said there are various questionnaries you can do to access your mood but be careful as said only a doctor can diagnose you and some questionnaires may be a bit unreliable. Im a great believer in gut instinct- and if your instinct is saying this is more than just a phase of low mood, then its worth pursing it.
If you can talk to your parents, they may be able to support you but I appreciate you may find this difficult at the present time.
