Fake depression is when somebody falsely exhibits symptoms of depression for the sake of getting attention/pity/compliments. Of course, it is also being theorized that actual depression is an unconscious evolutionarily-ingrained attempt to bargain with/manipulate the environment. For some people who 'have' fake depression, it is because they just need attention and caring from those around them. This in and of itself does not mean there is not a problem. In that case, even if they do not need treatment for depression, they still need either support/caring or need to solve the problem of being needy, as fitting the situation.
Some who suffer from depression fear that they are faking it and only being trouble, and thus shouldn't be helped.
In todays 'society', there are self-proclaimed emo people who may fake depression for the sake of it being <i>cool</i>. Those who mimic illness because they think it will make them seem fashionable recieve only contempt and disgust from many people who are trying to recover from depression due to it being viewed as a mockery and making depression much less accepted as a real danger by many people.
In conclusion, although fake depression may not be genuine, it still can signify other problems that need to be identified.
I only have fake depression, all I do is manipulate others, who STILL wont admit that they need to leave me behind for their own good.

The horrible, bittersweet depression one suffers after leaving CTY. Most common in Squirrels, who finally have found their place, and Nomores/Nevermores, who have trouble accepting that they can't come back next year. CTY Depression/Withdrawal is caused by the rough transition from a total, glorious immersion in CTY to the "real world" and all its downers.
Symptoms include (but are not limited to): Bawling your eyes out at random intervals for six months, feeling incredibly lonely until your friends email you back, obsessively amassing canon songs, crying upon hearing American Pie, Nightswimming, Stairway to Heaven, Forever Young, etc., writing/rewriting your final Passionfruit speech, severe hug (and in rare cases make-out) withdrawal, daydreaming about CTY almost constantly for at least until school starts, feeling alienated from family/friends, and the "outside world" in general, constantly thinking you are going to run into CTY friends everywhere you go, making jokes only CTYers understand ("Frank Wang swung his lanyard once, afterwards he decided the world didn't need another Grand Canyon"), feeling nutritionally incomplete without potatoes, randomly quoting Monty Python, insisting 42 is a square number in school, bursting out laughing when you hear any word that sounds like "Anita," "Tuvin", or "Schlecter", feeling naked without a lanyard, panicking on Thursdays when you realize you aren't carrying a towel, becoming convinced that every cold you have is a case of "the Schnad", and randomly shouting "I LOSE!" and being puzzled when all you get in response are weird looks.
The only known cure is total, immediate immersion in CTY, but this is usually unable to be used until after 1 year of symptoms, and such treatment cannot be administered to roughly 25% of the population.
Last year my CTY Depression lasted until I knew I was coming back to CTY this year.

The state when a person is feeling depressed and consumes a large amount of food of unhealthy origins to try and alleviate their depressed mood. This unfortunately leads them to pack unwanted pounds and when they realize that they've become fat fucks, they delve deeper into depression and eat some more because they can't help it. It is a vicious cycle.
Taiquan returned home after a long day at school. He immediately noticed that there were chip bags, soda cans and chocolate bar wrappers scattered across the living room, as well as a shredded photo of his roommate together with his girlfriend. As he entered the kitchen, he saw a big hulking man voraciously eating junk food. It was his roommate, who once upon a time had the body of Adonis, now turned into a sagging lump of excess body fat. Taiquan realized that his roommate was in fat depression, and knew it as only going to get worse.

You know when you get to work, but you wait in your car so you can listen to the rest of your favorite song, or maybe a funny part of a podcast? This is like that, but without the music. There's no way you're hopping out of the car and starting a work day without questioning your life choices first. Alternatively, you might compulsively scroll through your various social media feeds instead of questioning your life choices.
You can also depression-sit on a toilet, but your feet might fall asleep.
Boss: "Matt, you're late again." Matt: "Well, I got here on time, but then I had to depression-sit for about 15 minutes before I could bear the thought of entering the building."
Can also be used as a noun: "My boss texted me and interrupted my depression-sit".
