How do i tell my parents I have depression?

So like, I took a test and i scored this:

Major Depression:Very High
Dysthymia:High
Cyclothymia:Slight-Moderate
Seasonal Affective Disorder:High-Moderate

Like,

Dysthymia, Cyclothymia and Seasonal Affective Disorder are types of depression..

I dont know how to tell them i'm depressed..

U can't trust tests. 당신 can have a bodybuilder take a BMI test and it will tell him he is over weight because he is 300 lbs of pure muscle. Tests are loads of crap

Tests are sometimes unreliable. 당신 can't believe everything that 당신 get on a test.
In order to be sure whether 당신 are as depressed as 당신 make it sound like 당신 are, I must ask 당신 what has made 당신 "depressed". Through this I can infer whether 또는 not your depression is as high is it seems.
I have a brother with depression, so I know a little bit about it and how far it can go.

Well, i dont really know why im depressed. I guess its probably because I became homeschooled and had a change in my life, im not too sure though.

^So what you're saying is that a dramatic change in your life has caused some sort of change in you, mostly showing in a possible sign of depression. I cannot conclude that 당신 have any sort of depression. My guess is that your mind is still in a state of shock from this change of being homeschooled now. If I were you, I'd keep a journal 또는 something and write down your thoughts as much as possible. After a while, read through your entries and see if there's been a change in how you've felt about something. This is just my opinion on the subject though.

Well if I were 당신 I wouldn't necessarily trust tests because they're not always reliable... 당신 can look for the symptoms to see if 당신 have them but if 당신 really think you're depressed, 당신 should not worry about how to tell your parents about it. It's not like you've done something wrong 또는 like it's your fault, nobody chooses to be depressed. So just tell them 당신 think you're depressed because 당신 often feel sad and etc. But don't worry about it, they won't be mad at 당신 for that, they'll probably try to help 당신 get through it...
