I only gave a few percent of my depression hints and they don't get it at all. Then I told them I might have depression although not 100% truthfully detailed because it's hard to live in a country where mental health is ignored by everyone, including the government. They were shocked, but until now, we act like we don't care about my fluctuating depression.

I think it's a good thing that I and my parents have the same way of thinking. Taking drastic measure is going to risk my family's image in front of everyone. But still, trying to tell your parents about your depression is worth it. Don't hold it in.
