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 was diagnosed with depression about 5 years ago. There’s still a stigma that it’s indicative of failure I think. Damaged goods and all that. I still don’t make any admission with job applications, as there’s no doubt in my mind that it would put me in a very poor light and I probably wouldn’t get the job - and furthermore, employers would make up some other reason for not taking me on.
