What if parents don't want to at and read what we ask/give them to about our condition?if they don't want to know and understand how its like for us? How about therapists/counsellors who don't understand depression-do they need educating differently? See in my experience a lot of therapists seem to be quite judgemental, critical about you, blaming you for negative things,making you feel entirely responsible for your issues. They haven't got good approaches towards people with mental health issues. You want therapy to help you to deal with your issues and support in making pos changes. Its no good if you see therapist and they dismiss things you say,don't believe it like that you have illness or if people have mistreated you.
