As mentioned in many different articles, the lack of support from family members is a common issue among those suffering from depression. The effects this can have on the individual's life and self-esteem are quite significant. As such, it makes sense for people to consider how to handle family members that are seemingly not supportive of their condition.

In some cases, this may be due to a lack of understanding of how depression impacts someone with low self-esteem or stigmatized ideas about mental illness.
