That's not true, with some people it is, with others it's different.

There is no set pattern with depression some people cry lots others don't. I went through a spell well anger was a problem. Now I'm going through a paranoid and sleeping problem.

You don't have to cry to be depressed. I think the most common symptoms are fake smiles in front of people and feeling low, depressed and bad in private. Most people wouldn't know you were depressed unless you told them.

Many people I know don't realise or know that I am they just see the happy, caring fun person that I am in front of people. When I'm alone it's different.

If anyone says your not depressed as you don't cry then they are wrong and I think many others with depression and other mental illness would have similar experiences.

Hope this helps you.
