Why does nobody believe I'm depressed?

Cus they don't know how it feels like, they think it's just a pase, but it isn't. Be strong. Belive in you. They don't feel your pain. They just think you need atencion.

They don't understand depression and don't get that it is a serious problem. They think it is a joke but if you think you are depressed please go see a doctor that could help you

From my own experience, people just don't understand depression. A lot of people think you could just get over it if you tried, or that you're just upset. Even people who study depression but have never gone through it don't fully understand what it is. You don't really know what depression is like until you've really gone through it. Others, especially parents, could be scared of depression. Maybe because they don't know how to deal with their child being depressed. Maybe they assume it's one thing but that could be not the case. Maybe they've been through depression as well and they don't want to accept the fact that their child may actually be depressed as well. Whatever the cause may be, you are your own person and you understand the most what you're going through. Keep staying strong:)

Some people don't believe that depression is a real disorder unless you take medication, which is entirely false! There are multiple different reason why a depressed person may not be taking medication, and lots of people don't realize that. Some people also believe that someone stating they're depressed is a mere cry for attention... Which is almost never the case. Honestly the biggest reason no one believes you is because as a society many of us haven't been educated properly about these types of disorders which is a real shame :( I am sorry to hear about your situation and if you ever need someone to talk to feel free to message me :)

Some people think that if you're depressed you should be crying or in terrible shape. When in reality you could be all smiles and giggles and have depression.

Some people feel you need to have a reason to be depressed. e.g money, job or relationship problems. When they see you don't have these it could even be annoying for them when they feel they "have it worse" the problem is they just misunderstand the concept of depression.

Sometimes it is very hard for those who are not extremely sad or that don't perceive you as an extremely sad or upset person to understand that even you could have depression. Many people don't believe that mental illnesses are a thing, nor do they want to believe that they are, nor do they like the potential stress they see it causing. So in short a lot of people lack empathy and an open mind.

Often, people don't understand why you're feeling the way you are. Sometimes even you may not. It's hard for others to understand.

because they most likely do not know how to aid you in a depression or that they cannot/do not want to acknowledge there being something wrong with themselves/others.
