Knowing nothing about you or your career or your progress or achievements, it is very difficult to give any advice.However, as a guess, let me observe that in most cases of depression people will cast around for something or someone to blame, for their feelings of hopelessness and loneliness and futility.In your case, you are blaming your career field. You could go to great effort and expense to change your career, only to find yourself wandering in the same blind alleys.There are better ways to cure depression and create a sense of enthusiasm and optimism, than to change your career.Yes, I know, you feel you are not accomplishing anything, nothing is exciting or satisfying any more, you see no future, you have not advanced enough, no opportunities are available, no one values what you are doing, nothing good happens no matter how hard you try, and everyone you know is better off in life than you. You have a deep sense of having made the wrong decisions, chosen the wrong fork in the road every time, not chosen the right people, and trapped yourself in something meaningless.Those are not career flaws. They are the symptoms of serious depression. That happens to lots of people, not through any fault or failing of their own. The cause is generally unclear — maybe circumstantial, maybe biochemical, maybe isolation, maybe psychological disorder.The happy news is that depression is treatable. Sometimes with medication, sometimes with counseling, sometimes with psychotherapy, sometimes by force of will and deliberately changing one’s thoughts and attitudes.Obviously, none of us has the remotest idea about what put you where you are, or how you can get out of it. You need to seek out some professional help. That may take some searching, because there are lots of charlatans out there who simply prey on the afflicted, to get high fees. I would guess that you should start by finding a physician who specializes in treating depression. Most general hospitals have a physician advisory service, to help people locate the professionals they need. Begin there.Meantime, quit worrying about changing your career. Whatever you might have convinced yourself up to now, that is not your problem.Good luck in getting the help and guidance you evidently need.

YES, you can take the SAT test in August or even in next 2–3 months, to signNow your target / best score and get ready to apply for colleges from October mid.Upon selection by the US college, you have to apply for a student visa and that college will guide you further.How can I get into top elite universities? will help you to understand what exactly such colleges expect from you for admission.

Those are some very valid reasons to be stressed, and it’s ok (or should be) for you to just tell your parents, “Hey, I’m stressed out because of my brother’s college debt, the ACT, and keeping high grades. It’s a lot of pressure.”What might be more helpful, however, would be to figure out how they might help you with that stress. Learning to manage your stress is a critical life skill that will drastically affect your health and happiness as time goes on, so there’s no time like the present. Are you getting enough exercise? Are you getting enough quality sleep? Enough socialization? Do you think you might benefit from seeing a therapist? Maybe you have no clue, and you’d like to talk to one to see if they can help. Maybe you’d just like to hear a little more encouragement from your parents. All of those are valid ways of managing stress, and they’re all things that your parents may be willing/able to help with. Tell them that you’re stressed, and ask them for the things that you think would help. Alternately, ask them for things that might make signNowing your goals easier (tutoring, ACT practice tests), which in turn could help you feel more prepared and in-control.As a side note, this works well in the professional world, too. It’s one thing to tell your boss about the difficulties you’re encountering. It’s another to tell them about those difficulties, and then ask for concrete things that would help you overcome them. As your boss, it’s their job to give you the tools to do your job, just like it’s your parents’ job to give you the tools/resources/attention/love you need to learn, grow, and contribute to society.You might also consider meditating. It’s free, and it has been shown to be very effective at managing stress.
