Father does not believe in depression....

[md1224]

I am 21 and have been dealing with depression for about 2 years. When I started college I started feeling depressed so I went to a therapist on campus in which I was diagnosed with depression. Upon hearing this I told my family and my dad told me that I am making it up......he does not believe in depression. It's just something crazy people make up.

For the past year I have been receiving support from my boyfriend and his family which is nice, but I wish my own family would be there for me. I have had countless discussions with them but the result is always the same.

I just don't know what to do anymore.
