My mom seems to agree as well. If my doctor tells him, and it doesn't convince them (which I believe is the most likely outcome due to past events), then it will only end up making it worse knowing that they know that I have depression but aren't helping. Especially with how he already views me (lazy, selfish, etc.)

A doctor may still be able to correct their views.
And don't overthink your depression. Just an advise.
