No, they don't. Sometimes when in depression people don't think that they can get better, or don't have motivation to. Other times in other cases people might just relish in the emotions they're feeling rather than apathy or nothing at all.

No one ever wants to feel depressed or alone, some people may be more open and honest about wanting to get better but some people won't be as open about it, which is something you have to respect, if they ask for help, give it to them, but to a certain point, they can only help themselves, with the help of others, but they can only truly be 'better' if they really want to.

I would say not always. Many people with depression think that that's just the way this world is, not that it's something that can be cured. Some may think they deserve to be depressed (which is never true! while others see it just as a personality trait of theirs. Others might think that there is simply no way to get better (also not true). So the short answer is "no" but still, if people learn about their condition, they may be more inclined to seek help when they know there is another way.

I think yes people do want to get better but we don’t understand what better is I understand better as understanding what your life is and what it brings to you and understanding yourself. Getting better isn’t getting rid of it it’s living with it comfortably. It’s getting to a point of life where you can comfortably accept that it is a part of you and it’s not something that you should be ashamed of it’s something you should be proud of cause you are stronger than you think you are and than you give yourself credit for

Part of depression is not wanting to try to get out. It can be hard to muster up even the tiniest bit of motivation, unless you are receiving support from those around you. It is a gradual process of getting to know yourself and redefining your self worth so that you can start feeling better, and in turn feeling more motivated. It doesn't come naturally, and it will be hard but after some time it get's easier (cliche, I know). The important thing is not to put yourself down, and to remind yourself that it IS NOT PERMENANT. THINGS GET BETTER.
