Its up to you actually, everyone has their own freedom to tell or not to tell. If you are willing to tell, finding your close friend(s) or family is the best as they are with you almost all the time. So even when you are depressed, there are someone who you can reach out to.

Telling people that you're depressed is a good idea, it lets people know about what you're going through so that they can work with you and help with the issues that you're facing.

It depends upon who are the people that you want to tell them, because not everyone can understand that if they say they understand maybe they will say that just to make you feel better, but when you talk to people you trust people that know you know your problems, things about your life ,family ,etc.. people will not judgment you then I think yes you can tell them , but sometimes I think we say that we want to tell people but we don't that's always happen with me because I feel afraid sometimes I don't know why ,or I feel like they sympathize with me and sometimes I hate that sorry to say that

I don't believe that you have to tell people that you are depressed since it is a very personal matter and depends on the person. However telling someone may help a lot to relieve the feelings and get any help that the person may need.

If you want to get help for it, yes. I asked myself that same question for over 2 years before I decided to tell someone,and once I did my whole life just turned around. I hope this helps! xx

Yes and No. Of course tell it to people you are comfortable with, to your family and closest friends, your therapist too, but not to other people because they might not understand you they might take that as if it is not a severe problem and it might make everything a lot worse than it is.

You will have to tell your doctor and any other health practitioner if you are seeking medication or are on medication, beyond that, it's up to you if you think someone needs to know.
