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

Yes why not... sometimes its better to tell things to an unknown rather than telling it to someone known..I've read it somewhere that some books and some friends can cause you wonders.. keep up to that.. and its okay to tell.. nothing to be ashamed off... good luck :)

Of course not! It may be helpful to share your thoughts and feelings with special people whom you trust and who could help you overcome the depression, but there is no need to go around and tell everybody.

We all go through spells of feeling down, but when you're depressed you feel persistently sad for weeks or months, rather than just a few days. Some people still think that depression is trivial and not a genuine health condition. They're wrong. Depression is a real illness with real symptoms, and it's not a sign of weakness or something you can "snap out of" by "pulling yourself together". The good news is that with the right treatment and support, most people can make a full recovery. Many people with depression benefit by making lifestyle changes such as getting more exercise, cutting down on alcohol and eating more healthily. Self-help measures such as reading a self-help book or joining a support group are also worthwhile.

No, but getting your feelings off your chest can clear your plate a little bit. It can help, but honestly, its up to you. If you want to talk you can.

How you should tell people that you're depressed depends on how close you are to that specific person and what your relationship is like with them. If it is someone close to you, you should absolutely tell them, as they can support you. If it is a total stranger or professional contact like someone at work, I might be more careful with sharing this information with them. Either way, you need to tell someone you're depressed if you hope to get any support! Hang in there, friend.

I don't know about that. I have to take lots of antidepressants and when I'm at school my friends ask me why I take so many pills. Of course I lie to them, I just don't have the courage to tell the truth because deep down I feel I'll be judged and treated differently if anyone knows.

No, you don't need to. You should never feel pressure to tell people. However, if you finding it hard to cope with its within your best interest to get help :)

When you feel depress share it to people you know that cares about you, people who can be trusted.

You need to tell people that care for you and will help you : parents, best friend, partner ... But i dont think u need to tell everyone

It is solely up to you on who you tell about being depressed and when. The closer you are to a person, the sooner you should tell them, as a precautionary measure, just in case you hit rock bottom suddenly
