Legal Question in Family Law in Virginia

I need advice on seeking medical help

Ive been talking to my school

therapist, and she said that I display

most of the symptoms of both adhd

and chemical depression. This

afternoon, I took both the depression

and ADHD quizzes on WebMD, and

both said that I need to talk to my

Dr, and soon. Only problem is, my

mom is convinced I dont have ADHD

(I tried talking to the Dr about it

before, and she was like, oh no, she

doesnt have any problems with

school or anything) and really, that

makes me feel like she will

completely shut down if I try and talk

to her about this. Im scared to talk

to her. And I know I cant get tested

on my own, cause you have to have

parental consent to even visit the Dr.

So what should I do? My grades are

dropping, and so my parents yell at

me, which makes me more

depressed, which causes my grades

to drop even more. I only have one

more year of school, Im just trying

to make it to graduation.

I would need to know some more information before I could make any suggestions for you. I cannot promise that I would be able to help you, but I would hold anything you told me in confidence, and try to direct you to the appropriate agency where you live.
