It’s a decent excuse, or you’re taking a pretty narrow view of what depression is.

I'm literally unemployed due to the severity of my (bipolar) depression. I understand what it is.

Mental illness is an explanation, not an excuse.

Edit to add: if he is capable of working and playing video games, he is capable of helping at least a little bit. Him struggling and not being able to 100% complete tasks as usual is understandable. Completely neglecting OP and leaving her to do all the tasks when she literally cannot see? He isn't even apologising to her for it. Anyone with depression would feel shit that they're unable to help, and would say something about it.

Again, this is taking a narrow view of it. It comes in all forms, not just the one you’ve experienced.

Being judgmental doesn’t help anyway. The question is how to fix it.

Allowing someone to treat you like shit by saying they're depressed doesn't help either.
