Not always. Some people with depression think they deserve it, so they don't seek out help. It's different for everyone.

Sometimes they unwillingly don't want to get better from depression because it's their environment or some people which give them some sort of scenario that they want to stay depre9or they think that they cannot get away from this feeling.

I hope that everyone wants to get better in dealing with depression but some people are okay with being depressed because they've dealt with it for so long and have become use to it and havent got the necessary help that they need.

Sometimes a part of you can resist getting better from depression, which sounds really strange. Sometimes, especially if you have been ill for a long time, depression can feel like an important part of your personality, like the only thing that makes you interesting (I can promise you that it isn't). Sometimes it's comforting, even though it's horrible. It's familiar, and any kind of change is hard. So if you aren't sure that you want to get better, you aren't alone, but maybe think about the pros and cons of getting better and see what you think.

Some people are so invested in their depressive thinking that getting better does not appear to be an option.

Not necessarily. Some people think they are meant to be sad, and there is no help for them. So they stick with the thought of "I will be depressed forever, and nothing can change that." However, it's best to tell those people that they can be helped.

No because it's comfortable being depressed a lot of the time. I know when I was depressed I didn't want to get better because it was comfortable place for me but now I'm glad I did

i believe they do, no one wants to be down in the dumps, everyone wants to smile and be expressive and have moods that cast a dark shadow over them.
