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 what's happened over the past decade or so is that people who are a little 'down', which happens to most everyone, self-diagnose themselves as having depression. So it loses the weight for those who are clinically depressed which is like 3 or 4 percent of people. There's a difference.
