Is seeing a psychologist/therapist helpful when one is depressed and suicidal? Because I don't know if it would actually help me and I know they're expensive and I'm afraid to ask my parents.

It can definitely be helpful. I think if you feel like there is any chance of it helping you, don’t not ask your parents to look into it because of the cost. It could sincerely help you, and your health should be the most important thing to them and yourself. It can’t hurt to ask and have the discussion with them, don’t be afraid to ask for help.
