Why do depressed people often feel the need to announce that they are depressed?

So because their toxic they can't be depressed. This toxic person is my mother. Not so hard to ditch. I'm not saying she doesn't have depression, but people use it as an excuse. Wether toxic or not.

And no I reached out on an unrelated matter. Seeing someone online asking for help but completely shooting the help down. If they can't help themselves don't expect it from others.

Look if your looking for someone to go "oh sorry for your loss" on that then you're in the wrong place. She took her life as a result of how she felt, I feel bad for the kids she left behind. Why did you feel the need to bring suicide into a topic about people "announcing depression"?
