Is it normal that i am a psychology major, but refuse to..
..seek help for my depression? Now, as a Psychology major, I advise people to seek help when dealing with mental illnesses all the time, so I know it seems really hypocritical when I say I don't want to seek help for myself. I am not in denial. I know I'm suffering with some form of depression and have been for many years, now. I'm aware of all the symptoms I am experiencing and know what should be done. But I don't want to seek help.
When people think of those who wont't seek help for an illness, (mental or physical) they usually think it's because they are ignorant of what is happening to them or of what should be done. In many cases, unfortunately, that is true, especially when it comes to Psychology. However, I'm not exactly ignorant of my situation. Is it normal that even though I am not ignorant of the consequences of depression, I won't ask for help?
