The phrase "all in your head" is generally used to suggest that the problem is not real and person should toughen up and ignore it. Then it will go away.

Plenty of people still think that about depression. It's not a helpful attitude.

But really, something being "all in your head" is terrifying if you think about it. You can never get away from something that's "all in your head".
