5 Things Parents Do That Make Your Depression Worse

Depression is exhausting, what you need is support- but instead it feels like when it comes to your parents, everything they do makes things feel even worse.

Many teens have been isolated in their homes with their parents due to the nature of the past two years, and for many, it has only worked to fuel their depression and make them more susceptible to it. Many parents have trouble understanding the overall concept of depression, so when they are directly confronted with it, they might only make it worse.

So, that being said, here are some things that parents do that fuel teenage depression.

Let's stop the stigma now. Watch our video on the signs you're depressed, not lazy:    • 6 Signs You're Depressed, Not Lazy

My parents always say that my depression is from my phone when in reality, it's what is holding me back from ending it. Social media is the only thing that makes me happy

The worst one has to be when you finally get just enough courage to tell them and they say "just think positively". That is just not how it works.

it hurts the most when you tell your parents how you feel and they start saying how they gave you everything and how ungrateful you should be grateful

I'm 45 now, but when I was a teenager, I was severely depressed. I tried talking to my mom about it, and her reaction was devastating. She actually got angry with me, told me I was thinking too negatively, said I was a "stinkin thinker", said I needed to read more books about positive thinking. Toxic positivity was a huge thing in our home growing up. After that day, I learned that I could never talk to my mom about anything deep - I felt betrayed. My dad is dismissive about anything emotional or anything having to do with anyone else but himself. I kept to myself. To this day, I still have depression and anxiety, but I know now I can talk to my sister. I'm coming to understand that I can only have a superficial relationship with my parents.

I could remember several years ago I suffered severe depression and mental disorder. Not until my mom recommended me to psilocybin mushrooms treatment. Psilocybin treatment saved my life honestly. 8 years totally clean. Never thought I would be saying this about mushrooms.

I gotta say: my depression years started when I was 9, not surprisingly, my parents didn't care about it and said I was thinking about it too much, I'm16 now (soon to be 17 in 3 months) and it never left me. Personally, I'm an introvert, so I don't say anything about it anymore, but it has stuck with me throughout these few years

My parents love comparing me and my childhood to themselves and what they went through always telling me that I'm lucky and others have it worse. They didn't take my depression seriously for 3 years and even after being diagnosed still don't fully support me and my mom often puts down my mental illness. Started crying watching this because my mom has literally told me several times that me being anxious or upset is ruining my families time doing things. My mom often makes me the scapegoat too lol. I can't wait to move out

these points hit a bit too harshly. I relate too much of this yet my parents were all “Depression starts at thirteen, you can’t be depressed, you’re just sad, grow up.” When I was 8-9. so it hurt realising that i was actually depressed. I can’t take it anymore

Please, if you're having a bad day, just remember that somewhere in this world, theres still someone eho cares for you, someone might like you but is too embarassed to talk about it. So dont ever think that you have lost everything

I remember my mom saying "I tried giving you the best life I could, but you still ended up with depression." She didn't mean it in a hurtful way, and she was more frustrated with herself than anything else, as she also has depression, but it still made me feel really bad. Thankfully I still felt like I could talk to my parents, which definitely helped. One thing that is super important is having a good support system, even if it's just one or two people. My friend helped me out of the darkest time in my life, and I am so grateful to have a friend like her. Even if you're parents aren't there for you, intentionally or not, please reach out to someone you can trust

Thank you for this video. Having parents that don’t understand mental health & depression is also a lot more complicated when they’re from other countries that stigmatize mental illnesses. While my parents are good people and aren’t strict, they do have a tendency to compare with other when I feel bad and they don’t know have to actually help with my struggle with depression.

I’m 12, and I have really bad depression, and it’s surprising to see that this video basically covers all of what my parents have been doing. Every single time something is mentioned in this video I would be like “ya, that’s my parents, all right.” I honestly wish that I could show them this video.

01:08 What hurts more is the fact that that don't compare you with others. They compare you with yourself. Your past self which doesn't have depression.

So relatable... the biggest problem being that there's just no one to trust around me. No one to talk to.

I would love to see my parents seeing this video, after hearing all the things said here, I relate to it very much and I can definitely agree it is fuelling my depression. Parents should always focus on their children's mental health
