Hi there,

I know this is old now but agree with Kate here. The good thing about being an adult and over 18 is you don't have to tell anybody a thing unless you are comfortable. I also think what Kate said is a good idea.

It's up to you if you want to go into detail or not with your parents or anyone else in your life. I know that is is/was not easy to decide on what to do or say.

I hope this helps in some way as I am not experienced with having to tell my parents about this. My parents know of my mental health struggles and my school insisted on the medications. It was not until sometime in junior high, or perhaps high school I got off the meds and did just fine
