Clinical depression is no different than any other ailment, it is treatable and with the proper treatment it can be controlled. However most people do not understand the sufferer of depression. We all feel depressed from time to time and we can return to normal life when the cause has been dealt with. This is not true of a sufferer of depression, there is no relief from the source since the body is the source. Your boyfriend most likely feels that you are just feeling down and you can just get over it. Unless he has suffered a clinical depression there is no way to make him understand the way you feel is not just a "phase you are going through". You can help him to understand by having a doctor explain that this is not a bad day but a problem that needs long term help. My wife suffered for 14 years before seeking the help of a doctor and has been living life in a sucessful manner since the help. My understanding came slowly but I did finally understand after researching and my own discussions with our family doctor. Hope it all works out for you.

Well, unless the person that you are talking to has depression, they won't fully understand how you feel because they have never experienced it, so you really can't make them understand, you just have to try the best you can to describe it to them.

One he's lying something makes him happy. You should study your man in case of things like this. Well talk to him and ask him if he need to talk to a therapist that will help you both. Or be there with him people who are depresses are very very suicided. Be caution. Good luck!

You should try to help them in any possible way, and if it becomes a big issue, maybe consult a counsler or tell their parents that they should consult their doctor.

What would you do if your girlfriend was upset I think i suffer from depression and my boyfriend seems to think that he shouldn't have to help me when i feel down What would you do?

Here's the thing on both sides of the fence. First of all from the girlfriend's point of view: I believe that your boyfriend should be willing to help you feel better without having to be asked. If he doesn't, then maybe he is not the right one for you. On the boyfriend's behalf though: The only one that can help you out of a depression is yourself. It doesn't really matter if he is attentive or not, if you are depressed then feeding your depression with sympathy is not the answer either. I think you should talk to your boyfriend and then if you feel you are suffering from serious depression, get some professional help.
