I wonder why is this still happening

Why do we hide the fact that we are depressed ? If it is an illness that affects every aspect of our lives why is it considered taboo to acknowledge it in public ?

I think it's because depression and its allied illnesses are little understood by the general public... even by many doctors, and what we don't understand, we fear, reject, belittle, and often ignore or stay away from.

@Ontheroad I absolutely agree.
