Bella's 'depression' is no such thing. It was never intended to be depression, it was heartbreak over losing Edward. Does Bella look back on that time of her life with worry over her own well being? No. How hard was it for her to get over it? Not much. I'm almost convinced that Bella would look down on actual, real depression as much as any depression-shaming idiot, and it honestly pisses me off, as someone who has been depressed, that people try to pass her bullshit character as a representation of depression. To me it feels counter-productive-- how is anyone supposed to understand what it really is like if SHE'S the example that's pushed forward?

What makes you say that? (Not disagreeing, I'm just curious)

Mostly the fact that she tends to dismiss people if they don't directly affect her, and look down on them even if they are being nice to her. For example, how she thought about Mike, and Jessica (the girl who hung with her during the first book, idr if that's her correct name or not). She is generally very self-centered, and, hypothetically, if someone told her that what they're feeling is like what she felt when Edward left her, I can only picture her at least thinking than her problem was worse because it concerned her feelings for Edward (I think this factoring in how Meyer insists on how their relationship is super duper special and nothing compares to it).
I also can imagine her thinking that a depressed person should just tough it out. She rejects a lot of advise from concerned people before and after the second book, so I can't see her thinking too highly of psychologists or psychiatrists. But if there's something in the books to refute that then I'd stand corrected.

Prior to her infatuation with Edward, Bella looks down on everybody. She even resents the weather early in the first book.
