Asalaamu' Alaykum Dear Ummah

I was watching a video on YouTube about depression and suicide and etc. The video said that if a Muslim is depressed there is something wrong with your Iman. And it also said that a believer can never be depressed. This makes me feel really bad inside

I don't want to be depressed but it's not like I have a choice. I live with my source of depression. And the person who helped me over come my depression left forever. So is it true? Is my Iman lower than non-depressed Muslims? I do extra prayers in the night, fast, read Quran, and do Dikhr. I love Allah (SWT) and his Messenger (SAW). This makes me want to cry, now I truly feel worthless.*

P.S. I'm depressed because of my family and how they treat me and also that my Dad and Mom separated and I miss my Dad so much. I plan to move in with him Insh'Allah
