I have to stress what everyone else has said - take your meds and follow your doctor's advice

Any illness is hard for someone who is not going through it. Your dad can never fully understand. I had a hard time talking about my depression as, well, it depressed me. So I arranged for my dad to come with me to my doctor and he could ask questions and my doctor would explain. I asked my doctor if it was ok and he was more than happy. I did mention to my doctor not to get into my specifics but to keep the answers more general (what is typical). But this was more due to my own personal family relations and may not apply to you.

I wish you the best
