People don't like to hear you are depressed so prepare to be left. By other side if people accept you tell you are depressed it is a kind if test, probably they are ready to have a trustful relationship with you.

I would tell people I trust, can be open with, that are close to me if I was depressed. I think having support is important when going through a hard time and hitting some rough patches.

Yes of course. In that way, they can help you encounter depression. With having people around, you can share all your problems. Counseling is a good way too.

This is a very personal decision and there is no right or wrong. It is a questioned best discussed with a therapist who knows you best.

No in my opinion you don't have to tell anyone, but sometimes it might help if you open up to a friend or a close person. It can make you feel released and they might help you

Only if you want and if it is asked for some formal things. Depression is medical illness and there is no need to be ashamed.

Yes, you need to tell people when you feel depressed.Depression is something very serious that can lead to suicide if it's not diagnosed and treated on time.A depressed person needs to feel that they mean something to someone, that they are loved and that they are not useless and this is where friends and family can help.

Depression is something that if you feel you have then you need to talk to a trusted adult or friend so that you can get the help you need. Never feel ashamed about your depression. It's nothing to be ashamed about. It's an illness and you can get the help so that you can one day overcome this depression.

What really matters when you're depressed is doing what it takes to feel better. If you know how to help yourself feel better on your own, that's okay. Telling people can often be helpful though
