“Do you think I have depression?”
Hi, my name is Kelsey, I'm constantly sad. I hide away from everyone (even my family), I self-harm and sometimes have suicidal thoughts. Do you think I have depression?

Thank you for your honesty. The answer is most likely yes, Kelsey. If I could, recommend you getting professional help. Depression is an imbalance in the brain of serotonin. So, you have options: medication or therapy or both. But in order to treat depression, you need to contact a professional. You can always call 911 and/or the suicide hotline or tell your pediatrician as soon as possible and or your parents.
Please get help, I was born to help individuals like yourself and you don’t have to feel this way. Please keep me posted Kelsey.

More than likely. Please get some help with that.
Yes, you sound very depressed. Teenaged years are difficult under the best of circumstances. I would advise you to speak to your parents or another adult that you can trust. You need to see mental health professionals immediately. Please don't delay seeking the help that you deserve.
