on my own
I have been feeling so sick lately, and I have so many physical, mental, and emotional problems with myself, but my parents don't care enough to schedule a doctor's appointment for me. can i schedule one myself and go to the doctor without my parents, or do i REALLY need my parents to make it possible?
my parents won't take me, and I am really concerned about my overall health. Someone help me out, please! Thanks in advance!
And I am a minor, if that helps.

You are really going to have to talk to your parents and tell them what you are feeling. Get them to realize that you are serious about needing to see a doctor.
I have worked in the medical field a long time. I can tell you that if you are a minor and a doctor does not have parental consent to see you, they will not. They pay way to much in malpractice premiums to even take a chance your parents won't get mad and sue them.
The other thing is that an office visit can cost you a lot of money. A first visit is usually 120 dollars. If your parents have insurance, it may pay for most of it. A lot of places won't even see you anymore if you don't pay at the time of the visit (unless you have insurance).
So sadly, you will need your parents help with this. :)

talk to a teacher or an adult you know really well tell them your issue they will rpoably talk to your parents or take you to the doctor. sorry if this wasnt much of a help but you cant go alone. andd you migt just need to go to a shrink. which you can do alone

Even though you are a minor, you are entitled to make an appointment to see your doctor. You don't have to explain yourself to anyone why you wish to see your doctor and they won't betray any confidences that you tell them.
I am sorry that your parents won't help you out, but should the doctor feel it is necessary to speak to your parents, they will ask your permission to do so before your doctor contacts them.
I hope that you can sort out your health worries and ease your mind very soon. I wish you all the very best.
