I cant believe they laughed at you! Yes, i agree that you should find a new doctor. Maybe the doctor you went to didnt know much about that kind of stuff.

Thank you for your comments I just really need help iv been like this from the age of 14 but now it's like I want to kill myselth and be better of that way. I need help as soon as it angers me that they think it's hormones and all that I have very bad anger problems as well it's not nice. I have a little voice in my head controlling me is that normal? As I don't no any more!! :( x

Tell your parents you will not go to that doctor again.  Then ask to get a new family doctor and ask the new family doctor to do a referral.  Just because someone else thinks you do not look depressed does not mean you are not depressed.  Please demand that you get the care you need.  I am almost 46 years old and I still sometimes have to demand I get the care I need.  Nobody is too young to be depressed and depression in teens is a very serious problem.  If a doctor has laughed about this they should have their license to practice medicine revoked.  Replace the doctor that did that immediately and ask to see a psychiatrist.  Now it does not mean you are crazy.  It just means they are somebody trained to help better.  I will keep you in my prayers.

They laughed at you?! Find a new Dr. It could very well be you age and they think your just going through regular teen stuff. Get with a therapist they can recommend meds if necessary. Your Dr would take another drs advice better.
