<s>[INST] My name is Netra and I am 16 years old. I think I may have depression but im not sure if its actual depression or its just a mindset. I feel sad lots of times and do get bursts of low esteem and start crying but I have no one I can ask this sort of this about. So what should I do? [/INST] Greetings ! Well the symptoms that you have enumerated above are suggestive of depression which you have slipped into so I reckon that you get yourself evaluated for the same by a clinical psychologist who after confirming your diagnosis shall start you on therapy/ counseling. CBT (Cognitive Behavior Therapy) is a specialized therapy which is effectively used to manage this condition of depression, and it shall help you to learn coping skills to fight against depressive emotions and feelings in the future. I hope this helps. Wish you all the best. Regards </s>
