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

You should never feel like you have to tell anyone that you're depressed but it certainly can be healthy to express yourself to people you trust. Parents, close-relatives, or maybe best friends can be good people to tell about your depression. Keeping your depression to yourself can be unhealthy in that it can make it worse and make you feel like you are alone when in fact you have people out there that will help and support you.

If you will have your leg broken, would you tell it to your friends and doctor ? Mental illness is like every illness and it deserves attention, take action and go show yourself because this is the start for a change ! :)

Telling people that you are depressed is extremely helpful. It takes some of the burden off your shoulders. Plus you can just tell someone, "Hey, I'm feeling too depressed today to do _____" which can be very comforting. The people who love you may be surprised or hurt that you're suffering but it should help you (and even them) in the long run!

If you feel comfortable talking about it then yes or if its really bad. If you think it would help then i would recommend it.

Only if you want to, nobody can actually MAKE you talk. Still it's highly recommended to talk to someone about depression and issues with mental health. It's necessary in almost every case and an important step to take towards healing. Anyway, if someone asks you about being depressed, you can keep it to yourself if you want to. I told my friends after I had gone through therapy.

If you think that it might help you then you can but not everyone as everyone will not listen to you and in this way you might feel uncomfortable.

You don't need to share anything with the world you don't want to. But it's important to acknowledge depression in yourself and seek the help you deserve to get better

You don't need to tell everyone if you don't feel it would benefit you to tell them, It is however beneficial to be able to talk to people and distract yourself when you feel you need to.

i think it is important to tell it someone who's near to you. but otherwise people doesn't have to know this. if you have someone to talk to. ho knows how u realy feel behind the mask we put on

Do it if you trust them, most people will want to help you if that's the case. Also remeber that seeking professional mental health care can always help. Best wishes!
