Total Mental Breakdown
I'm a 16 year old student, pursuing medicine from a highly competitive college in Mumbai. Over that pressure, I have a lot of old anxiety issues and possible depressive bouts off and on (sometimes even for no reason at all). My parents don't believe in the existence of mental health issues in teenagers, I don't have the courage to talk to them about it either. But a lot of times I feel lost, dejected and empty. It's taking a terrible toll on me and I'm very afraid of what I might do (I've been bulimic in the past). I don't have enough resources to get tests or consultations without my parents' involvement. What can I do?

As a medical student please be very sure that like any other medical illness, treatment of psychiatric disorders is of utmost importance to avoid long term complications.
