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

It would be better to tell people that you may be unwell, as they can be more understanding to how you feel. A lot of people are engrossed in their lives and not always so aware of other people around them. Therefore, maybe telling the people you trust and who you may feel is understanding should be told you are depressed. Additionally, you might be surprised at how they can help you knowing you aren't feeling so well. They may give you more time, more patience, more understanding.

Depends entirely on the situation. If you completely trust a close friend, then you know they'll do their best to solve your problem. Also, two brains are better than one. :)

The only person you need to tell is yourself. Acceptance is always the first step to getting better.

No you don't, but it sure does make it a lot easier for your surroundings to help you through. By telling others, you are also allowing others to help you.

It's mostly recommended because that way someone can help you but it's hard to seek help. You're not alone.

Of course you don't, it's a personal thing and nobody around you needs to know. Your feelings are still valid if they don't know and you shouldn't feel pressured to tell anyone, it's your own choice to make. It can be hard telling people so only do so when you're ready to, give yourself time if needed.

If you don't want to be crushed by the burden that you carry, don't you throw it off and relax? Yes, yes you should.

You dont need to.... it is your life and your privacy... dont feel forced to tell people about it if you feel uncomfoertable with it But also feel free to tell people if you think it is the right thing to do. Depression is not a shame you dont need to hide it ! If you talk to people they will able to understand you better and also help you better.

You don't need to tell people you're depressed unless you feel comfortable doing so. That said, it may help to tell select friends, family members, or people you trust about this. Basically, anyone you feel comfortable telling, but you aren't obligated to tell anyone you are.

No, you definitely do not have to! Online resources such as 7 Cups and other local mental health resources are great ways of just having someone to talk to online about your problems. You can also vent to your close friends if they seem to be good listeners. If you find your depression really affecting your life and your ability to do things on a daily basis, getting further professional help is definitely something to consider for maintaining your well-being and good health.
