Depression is something that takes a lot of time for people to even muster a slight understanding of. I think a lot of it has to do with the fact that people don't want to see it (in my experience, yours may vary).
My family (all except my sister) never really managed to grasp what was happening to me or why, even after all these years. Now I just don't talk to my family about it. Only my husband knows about the times when my depression hits the hardest and while he still doesn't get it completely, he does at least try to understand.
