Yes or else it's pretty difficult to fight it and you should fight it because you deserve all of the happiness you can get.

Okay maybe you don’t tell them straight away, I usually don’t, though I feel like they need to know about me in case I ever get in a bad way. Just so they are prepared for it - if I suddenly locked myself in my room all day, not eating or drinking, people would probably find me pretty weird if they didn’t know I had a mental illness.

i don't think that that would help. I think if you know youre depressed you should visit a therapist and let him help you

No, don't let depression define you, it shouldn't change someone's view of you. You only need to tell someone you trust when you need someone to talk to.

To the ones you trust, yes. otherwise, refrain from people who you feel bring negativity. All some people can do is judge you and put you down. Do not, EVER, let anyone put you down.

No, not at all. If you are depressed then you don't need to tell anyone, but if you feel like you should then you can tell people that you trust.

I think that it's a personal matter so it's really up to you. For instance, If you think it will make you feel more comfortable around people then go for it, if not then don't.

No, you absolutely do not need to tell people that you're depressed. Of course, it can absolutely help to reach out to someone who you trust and who cares about you, but you by no means need to tell people. It's about what makes you comfortable.

Honestly, I can not tell you based on this question alone if you should or should not. Choosing to tell people about your depression should happen on your own time in your own way. If you find it helps, then totally do it. If it makes you really uncomfortable, then you don't have to. :)
