Do I need to tell people that I'm depressed?

you dont have to shout it out, im sure you dont want to, but if you think you are your family might be able to help you seek professional help, if that is necessary. But it is useful to not fixate on it, so theres no point telling EVERYONE and tlaking about it ALL the time, it shouldn't be a secret though

Only if it is truly necessary and with people you trust like your best friends, spouse, or family members. Never feel pressured to tell someone.

I would advise to let the people in your life know about the problems you are facing in order to get the support you deserve and need. A family member or close friend is always best as you can trust them the most. It is easier to cope with knowing you have someone there for you. Also having someone who has some idea of what you're going through can be useful because some days will be worse than others and you won't have to explain to much about how you are feeling if they already know your problems. Additionally, it can make you feel less alone knowing someone feels the same way. However everybody doesn't need to know your problems because you also need a place you can go where nobody knows about that side of you somewhere you can go and forget about your troubles.

Suffering alone can be hard so we need the support and love of people we can trust that have good intentions. I suggest only telling the people you trust that care about you, are supportive and non-judgmental.

No, not necessarily. You don't have to tell people that if you aren't comfortable. If you feel the need to then it's fine, but it all depends on if you think it'll help your situation.

You absolutely do not need to tell people that you are depressed. While it could help so they could understand why you do certain things, if you are not comfortable sharing this then just don't tell them. You can tell as little or as much people about your depression that you want.

I honestly think you should. Once that's been lifted off of you chest you can stating taking the right path to becoming better.

It is very important to tell someone that you're depressed. However, be careful about who you trust. Find a friend or adult that you TRUST, and tell them that you're depressed. That way, they'll know immediately that you're serious and will be willing to find you the help you need.

First you need to take a step back and think about if you trust that person with that information. If you do it also be good to consider if that information would be important to tell that person.

You don't have to tell anyone if that isn't what you want or feel like doing, but if they're close to you and you know they'll react well, they'd be a good support system for you
