How can I understand am I in depression or not? I don't want to go therapist. Last time I went and she didn't even listen me

I’m really sorry you had a bad first experience. There are lots of online self tests, but those are not actually made for giving you a diagnosis. Usually they are there so you can see if you might need to go to a therapist. There are a lot of therapists so maybe talking to your regular doctor to figure out something to do might be a good option. Lots of medical doctors know at least basic mental health knowledge and some can refer you to a better therapist who might listen more. Also at regular doctor appointments there can often be a depression screening, though I don’t know if that’s the case everywhere. Keep in mind too that there will always be some people who don’t understand mental health and that could apply to your doctor so if that happens maybe you could ask a trusted friend to help? It’s always up to you. I hope you are able to get the help you deserve!
Take care, -Jacklynn
