How can you tell?
I need to know the different between clinical depression, anxiety, and severe stress. How can you tell if you really have a mental problem or if you're just really emotional? I know only a doctor can make the diagnosis, but I need to know so I don't have to waste my time going there if I'm feelings these things for no reason.

It definitely wouldn't be a waste of time to see a doctor about this. Even if it's nothing, it's good to see him or her to talk about any issues you could be having. A lot of teens experience REAL depression and anxiety...my best friend does and she saw her doctor about it even though she thought it was nothing. Now she's on medication and doing a lot better.
