depression?

Question

So my friend says she has depression, but she hasn't been diagnosed. She also doesn't /want/ to be diagnosed. She's always complaining and saying things like "I'm gonna kms lol." 
The thing is, I have been diagnosed. It makes me super depressed when she talks like this, even if I'm on meds. Sometimes I think she fakes it because she sometimes laughs at me when I say things about my own depression. What do I do about this?

Answer

You should talk to her. Ask her why she laughs when you talk to her about your depression. Tell her it does not help and makes you feel bad. People deal with depression in different ways- her way of coping may be to make jokes about it. It's pretty common. And even if she is faking it, if you talk to her she might stop. If she is a real friend then the last thing she wants to do is hurt you. Maybe she is faking it as a way to get closer to you - to give you guys something more in common. There are tons of reasons for her behaving this way and not all of them are intentionally sinister. The best thing to do is communicate :)
