I have depression, and I've been going to a counselor but it hasn't really helped and i want to try getting on anti-depressants because I'm so sick of being sad and lonely all the time and I can't take it anymore. but, my mom doesn't want me to take them because she's worried about the side effects so she won't let me take them. I've tries to explain to her that i feel really sad ALL the time but she won't do anything except take me to my counseling appointments. When i told her I had depression she cried because she wanted me to be "normal", and that just made it even worse. Whenever i try to talk to her about pills she acts like its a crime to want medication for my mental illness. What can I do to convince her that i need medication? I cant stand feeling like this anymore, and nothing else has helped so far, and I don't know what to do.
Yes it's a therapist but she never asked me about suicidal thoughts or said anything about a psychiatrist.
