What to do if i'm depressed and not wanting to get better?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Some people are: Fairly content being depressed. It may meet a need such as feeling sorry for themselves, pity from others or punishment if they feel undeserving. Frankly, if you don't want to get better than it is likely that you won't.
