When someone pretends they have depression for attention. They could post things like Bart Simpson crying with a caption saying “pls someone fucking kill me :(“ . A very common way to tell someone is faking it is if they always talk about having “mental breakdowns” or “crying fits” wherever they go. These people are disgusting attention whores so if you come across one just ignore them so they don’t get what they want.

Fake Depression is usually common amongst quirky edgy teenagers, primarily girls, who post sad VHS edits of Bart Simpson, or anything related, on their Instagram/Snapchat stories with the caption "pls no one talk to me" or "pls someone just end me" or even "wow this is so me" for attention. While also hurting people who are actually Depressed by making them feel even more bad about themselves and having a harder time to cope with their mental disorder. Fake Depressed teens usually act like this because their parents didn't buy them that new Iphone or they immediately broke up with their new boyfriend/girlfriend after being together for a day, and they think their life is hard.

Fake Depression is when a teenager (mostly girls between the ages of 12-15) pretends to be diagnosed with the very serious mental illness called depression in hopes getting attention. These girl will usually post pictures of themselves or other images with captions claiming that they want to end their lives or wanting to ‘end it all’ when really they just want others to take pity on them and sulk about how terrible their amazing life is. Spotting a fake depressed person is easy so please if you suspect someone you know might be this annoying blob of a person please these symptoms below
. Listening to ‘emo music’ and Billie Eilish

. Constantly taking about how bad their life is (usually people with depression don’t tell anyone about it)
. Posting on instagram with sad captions
. Complain that they have no friends (when really they have more than you)
. When talking about cliques or what famous character in a movie they are like they will usually pick the sad/emo/weird one

Someone, usually a teenager that usually acts as they have a mental condition, because they think it's cool. You usually can tell when it's fake, if they don't tend to get in their feelings, don't cry or even act sad when they are around you . when they aren't around you, you can tell, because they show it off on their story and they tend to post quotes a lot. Most people that are actually depressed will not post much about their mental symptom called depression.

Someone who claims to have depression but normally has intentions to gain attention and fish for compliments and pity. They act sad and try and look depressed and complain obsessively about how they have it. They also will not accept help because deep down they know that its fake and they want all the attention. These people will also say that they have no friends even if they have many. They also use other people as therapists and never consider other people because they're "too sad" to give a sh*t. I kinda pity people who do this because they dont realise how people with depression really feel therefore mimick them.
"hey you look kinda sad are you okay?"
"I'm just really sad because of my depression and i wanna die!"
"What can I do to help?"
"Oh its my (fake depression) you can't do anything about it now im gonna cry and be an emo!"
