It means those teenage years (or later) when you're depressed and you think no-one else understands you. Wish you would look around and realise there are thousands of people feeling the same, only you're too busy feeling misunderstood to look around and see how little effort you're making to understand anyone else. And don't think I don't understand; been there, done that, got the prescription medication. My Doctor said 1 in 10 people who go to her go because of depression. You're not alone, stop pretending you are so you can wallow in self pity. Have a go at understanding your parents, rather than telling them they don't understand you. It's 6 years since I was diagnosed, and I'm still here, getting on with a damn good life (off the pills and everything).
