Finaically my family are supportive but when it comes to depression they believe people in the west have nothing to be depressed about.

My family are immigrants from zambia. Life is more harder than in the UK. In Zambia there is no NHS like here , there is no free education in secondary school like here

They think young peope in the UK are just previleged and have nothing to be depressed.

Its very difficult being black with depression.

My family believe depression does not exist.

Being a child of immigrants i am constantly told to be grateful.

Being a black woman with depression it is awful stigma which is hard to explain.

Thats why i cant tell my family
