Is it okay when you're parents just don't believe in mental health disorders

Family

Hi, just a guy moving one with life, when I told my parents about my mental health, they just wouldn't talk about, they blame me for it because of isolation, I've been stuck in the same house for over a year now ever since the pandemic, I never liked going outside anyways, have no interest in ever going out the outside world, at first, they didn't believe me about my mental health, they didn't wanna listen to everything, I just went silent after that, I am beginning to have negative thoughts in them, I wasn't even shocked that they wouldn't believe in my mental health problems. It's been always like that ever since, like all I hear is each of my family member arguing and screaming at the other, just makes me wanna poke my eardrums

I just want some advices, nothing else, it's the only thing I want to hear, I've been using ai to cope with my problems like chatgpt, but I think it's not even working at all since all I'm doing is typing and not really talking out my problems, it's a bummer, since people view negative things to others who constantly use ai, and I'm trying to keep it a distance once and awhile
