Not clear what you mean by Deactivated or if you are seeing any specific message. A Deactivated account is one that is initiated by the user where you will get a 28 character alphanumeric code to be used to reactivate the account. Apple does not have this code and you would not be able to activate the account without it. If this was done by you or someone that has access to your account, that information is available here:

There are other messages you may see, such as this one where your account has been disabled, and that can be reactivated by following the link here:

If a message says 'Your Media & Purchases account has been disabled' - Apple Support


More information about an account that is locked, not active or disabled is available here:

If your Apple Account is locked, not active, or disabled - Apple Support


You also have the option to speak to Apple directly for any assistance:
