Your Dad said all of that from an emotional perspective not a logical educated perspective. Yes there are cases of circumstantial depression where bad things are happening that contribute to depression. Then there's true chemical depression where a person could have the best life possible(cloud9) and still feel sad and depressed. He needs to understand this is medically based and needs to be treated that way.
Are you under a doctors care or on medication? If not you need to get one of your parents to take you. You can also speak with your school counselor. There doesn't have to be a 'reason' to justify depression. That has nothing to do with it. Depression in the true chemical sense is medical the same as diabetes is medical. Find another adult (perhaps your mom). Tell them this is serious and they will be negligent if they don't help you. He may have thought you were trying to blame him as a parent and perhaps that why he was defensive. Take some deep breaths and please never think you shouldn't live. You're not alone. Don't give up. Can you make your own doctors appointment?? Tell as many adults as you can until you get help.
