A major purpose of family therapy is to bring to awareness the fact that many problems are family problems, not problems with one person.
It is wrong for others to blame you and be "miserable" if you seek treatment for depression.

I understand that. My family treats me very well, and I really have no complaints. I am convinced that I am the problem. And if I cannot overcome myself on my own, then there's no help for me. I cannot let everyone down again. The feelings I have when I disappoint someone hurt me a lot.
