Suggest Treatment For Anxiety And Depression

After having multiple professional diagnosis s by my psychiatrist, therapist, and family doctor, my parents STILL choose to invalidate my feelings. My mom thinks i self harmed and attempted suicide for attention. She thinks my depression is just a phase. These are not things i have been overthinking, these are things she said to my face tonight. She makes me hate myself and wish i was never born. Please, help me. Are my feelings valid? Is my suicidal ideation real? I have anxiety attacks to the point where i throw up and pass out.. I guess i just need to hear from someone that this is all real.

General & Family Physician,  's  Response
HI, thanks for using healthcare magic

Anxiety and depression are both very real and significant illnesses requiring treatment.
They are as important as any physical illness.

It is possible that your mother is in denial because she does not wish you to have these conditions, there are some persons who hope that by ignoring a condition, it would go away.
She may not be trying to purposely upset you.

You and your mother may need to consider family counselling to discuss any issues that the two of you are having.

I hope this helps
