If you have such feelings and they persist for most of every day for two weeks or longer, and interfere with your ability to manage at home and at work, then you might benefit from getting an assessment by a skilled professional.

Having one or other of these features, by themselves, is unlikely to indicate depression; however there could be other causes which may warrant medical assessment. If you are feeling suicidal it is very important to seek immediate help, preferably by a mental health practitioner.

The expression “I’m so depressed” is overused and misused, and tends to undermine just how debilitating a condition real depression can be. It is important to make the distinction between sadness and depression, and to acknowledge that it is rare for normal sadness to lead to depression. Normal sadness occurs when you experience great loss, for example. At these times, the normal response is grief, which is intense, and can last weeks or months, but eventually has a resolution. Certainly if there are other factors, such as a genetic predisposition or unhelpful personal coping skills, these events might place you at a greater risk of depression. But most people who suffer sadness do not become depressed.

In life there is also disappointment and anguish. None of us is as good as we wish to be and life doesn’t consistently deliver us the things we hope for. We struggle with relationships and with our work, and can become very unhappy about things not achieved. We can agonize about the difficulties we face and have regrets about decisions we have made. But none of this is depression either.

It is very hard for someone to admit, “I don’t actually know why I am depressed.” It is human nature to want the events we experience to explain our emotional state, and so we often say that our depression was caused by, say, our marriage breakup or loss of job. But very often we find that the depression was there long before the event took place. It may in fact have been the cause of the marriage breakup or job loss.

It is entirely possible that you can experience depression, or a lowered mood state, and not even recognize that you are depressed. There may or may not be events that cause you to feel down, but you say to yourself, “Yes, I know I’m feeling a bit down and I must do something about it. It is not good to go around feeling like this.” And so the days and the weeks can go by, you feel almost constantly stressed and anxious, you have no energy, you don’t go out except to work and even there you keep to yourself. Your appetite drops, you don’t sleep well. You find yourself waking during the night. You feel sad and cry easily, and find your eyes brimming with tears often and unpredictably. You find you cannot concentrate well, you can’t make decisions, and your memory sometimes fails you. You may have headaches or muscle aches.
