Most universities have some sort of mental health services available to students, at least for short term issues (they can refer you to someone for long-term treatment if necessary). If you're still in high school (I have no idea of your age), then there ought to be school counselors who can offer the same guidance in locating help. If you're not sure where to get help, your teachers or professors will also have this information. There's no need to worry about asking them for help, depression and stress-related issues are quite common among students, so any faculty at your school probably have been giving a list of resources of where to send students who come to them asking about getting help.

I understand that you're in india, so I'm not sure what specific options are open to you, but good for you for asking for help. That may be the hardest part.

If you can't talk to a professional, it might be helpful just to read about depression (www.depression.com) and understand that many, many people suffer from it. Try to find somebody to talk to about it whether they are a professional or not. A friend, relative, teacher, classmate, coworker, or clergyperson are all possibilities.

The biggest thing to realize is that your feelings are not unusual. Talk about it. It will help.

Best of luck.

I'm going to make this one quick since I have little time. Background: Throughout my life I have always done good in Math. I almost always received 90%+, and received easily upwards of 95% when I took normal-level HS Math courses. When I took Grade 9 "De-Streamed" Math (All students must take "De-Streamed" in Canada), I initially had 98% until I got very sick and my mark had dropped to 95%. The Physics teachers and Math teachers talked about me as if I were some sort of genius. Then, an...
Bit Britain-specific but I was wondering, what's the best path to take for A-Levels out of the following (I know Y10 seems a bit early to be thinking about A-levels, but my choice will impact what I do this year/ in y11) I (almost) definitely want to do physics at University - so keep that in mind... The subjects that I'm almost definitely going to take are Maths, Further Maths and Physics, and I'm taking a fast track programme which means that I'll be taking AS computer science at the end...
After a year of thought, I decided to adjust my ratio for applying the US/EU(+UK) schools. I mostly focused on the US schools before, but things are getting complex and I found out that Europe is also a good place to study. I found some institutes that have professors with similar interests. But gaining the information is much harder than US schools (like you have to contact professors in advance etc). For your information, I have B.S. in engineering (low GPA: 3.2/4.0) in Asia - one SCI...
