Do people always want to get better from depression?

Not everybody does.. Sometimes it feels like you literally become your depression, that you are nothing without it.

Yes they do but they should accept that they are depressed. The person who never accepts he is depressed will not get better bcz he wont even try.

Some people do, while others tend to take longer to make their own personal comeback. Not every person is the same.

In most cases, yes, but some people are so in such a pit that they don't realize that their depression is keeping them from wanting to get better

No. When I was depressed I didn't want to get better. I thought it was my fault that I got that way, and that I would have to live with it. I thought there was something tragicly romantic to it.

Of course everyone wants to feel better, the problem lays in the fact that sometimes you don't even want to acknowledge that you're depressed, or you feel so hopeless you don't think you deserve the help, or you simply don't know how to ask for it, so you sink, and you let it turn you into a sack of potatoes

Yes they do. Some people realize then and some don't, thinking this is the better ultimatum or that they deserve it, but slowly they can learn that, no, you deserve to be better.

From my experience, yes-- deep down, nobody wants to be unhappy. Depression is a mental illness, not a conscious choice. You might as well ask, "do people always want to get better from cancer?" As with both, there are times when people give up, but I wouldn't say that's the same thing as not wanting to get better. Sometimes, due to severity of the symptoms, hope can seem altogether lost, and suicide can seem like the only viable alternative to living a life of pain. However, nobody with depression wants to die-- they just don't want to keep feeling those negative feelings anymore. So yes, I believe that everyone wants to get better from depression, and it is possible to do so.

No one wants to continue feeling depression. But I find the path back from depression can be very confusing and full of obstacles. I think there are lots of people who find it hard to think about overcoming depression in one go. However, if you present the solution day by day, step by step, most are willing to go forward.

No, definitely not. Depression is a lifestyle I feel, a certain outlook on life that some people just don't think is a problem or affects them negatively. They often view their depression as reality. They are viewing themselves as realists
