Suggest Therapy For Depression

I'm only 13, but I honestly think there's something mentally wrong with me. I am angry or sad all the time; I'm never just happy. I'll go from smiling to screaming and in tears the next minute. I cut myself sometimes and I've thought about suicide. I don't have a rough life at home or at school or anything, I'm just upset for no reason most of the time. It's getting in the way of my relationships and I'm not sure how much longer I can take it. Please help.

Dear
Welcome to HCM
We understand your concerns

I went through your details. You are only 13. You should be able to distinguish between disappointment and depression. Disappointment also brings on symptoms identical to depression but they are short lived. Were you disappointed in the near past?

If not, you should consult a psychiatrist / psychologist for mental health evaluation. The given symptoms are common for many mental disorders.

If you require more of my help in this aspect, please use this URL. http://goo.gl/aYW2pR. Make sure that you include every minute details possible.

Hope this answers your query. Available for further clarifications.
Good luck.
