Probably not or they would say more than just you look like it. Real depression would mean that it is affecting your entire life and your not able to really function properly. Your probably just going through a rough patch in your life. Hopefully things will get back to normal and people will start telling you how much better you suddenly look again.

U can't tell...u answered ur own question - people say u 'look' it, that doesn't mean u r. Only u can tell if u r depressed or not. Depression is not something u discover by other people recognizing it. It's how u feel inside all the time. I suffered from depression for years. It literally feels like the world is against u, every weight is on ur sholder, & all hope is lost. If that ain't u, then that ain't u! These people just want the best for u and want to know if there's anything they can do for u. They probably noticed that u aren't as attached as u usually r. If u aren't depressed, then just say thanks for asking, but I'm fine. If u are depressed, then seek help. Either way, put a smile on ur face, stand up straight, & face the world ahead. Never let circumstances, life or people take away ur joy! Happiness comes from with out - joy makes u look in. So look in and see that beauty that is YOU!

It has more to do with how you feel than how others think you look. Are you feeling unusually tired, have insomnia or anemia. These signs can be picked up by other people. If you feel down you could talk to someone about it to see if it is situational or clinical depression. I guess a lot of people care about you which is a good thing!

only a specialist ( gp, psycologist, etc..)can diagnose depression. It is a serious condition and it should be treated as such.
If you think you have depression you should talk with your gp and ask for advice.
