Do people always want to get better from depression?

I believe they do. My brother is bi-polar and he's dealt a lot with depression. However, there are some days when people don't want to get better, because they're swallowed in a pit of their own despair. The best thing you can do for them is to just remain supportive and loving, letting them know you care.

Not always, but with some help totally! I suffer from it and only want to get better, but not everyone believes that they can, which is why we need to help.

Like any other illness, people do want to get better, but sometimes they don't even know they are dealing with depression, so how can they possibly seek for help?

not always some people find it hard to get better and the struggle can be very diffcult on the road to recovery some people dont want to get better and find it easier to not

People have to want to get better. They have to be tired of misery. Some people become accustomed to it. You have to actively participate in recovery.

I guess not. Depression can also bring people to lot of improvements and for seeking changes in life.

Yes and No. I've had time where ive been super depressed and i just want to suffer, and other times where i wish the pain would end .

Nobody wants to feel bad, .... but sometimes when a person gets so used to feeling a certain way, it can be come what is normal and in a way ... comforting.

my opinion is that not wanting to get out of depression is part of the problem. it might feel easier to stay home and sick, with everyone looking after you instead of being healthy and going out to work. depression sometimes works the same way

This is an interesting question. From what I've read, and from personal experiences, sometimes depression seems to feel so familiar and maybe almost comforting that one might feel hesitant to want to change. Change is scary, even if it is a change that will ultimately help one feel better. And change is also difficult, especially when managing mental illness. So in short, I would say that sometimes people might not want to get better from depression. I think this tends to be a temporary feeling, but I can't speak for everyone. Some reasons that people might not want to get better from depression include: depression feels familiar and perhaps safe, one might feel like they don't deserve to get better, trying to get better is hard and that (as well as change) can be scary. I hope this helps!
