No, some people hide their emotions well, while others just dont. You can tell by their lifestyle, they sleep alot, dont eat, etc.

I don't think you can tell just be looking at someone. You could probably tell by talking to them. If they don't enjoy doing the things that they use to do then they might be suffering from depression.

Sometimes you can sometimes not...some of the seemingly happiest people I have met are seriously depressed underneath and some of the most depressed looking people look that way from lack of sleep due to a new baby etc...do not rely on looks only..

It is harder to detect depression just by looking but I can usually tell as soon as they speak even if they are trying to hide.I guess I see it so fast because I spent most of my life hiding my feelings and other people did not know there was anything wrong.Now that I've had help solving them I can see it in others quicker.

Not always. Some people who you would say is the happiest person on Earth, could be very depressed. Some people who you assume is depressed, can be the happiest people around, but their faces and bodies tell you a false vibe.

yes. if u see a person who is sad everyday, walks really slow with their head down,tends to be by themselves, and doesn't talk much. but there are some people who are so depressed that they learn how to hide it and pretend things are ok.before i even know i was depressed, alot of people would ask me if i was ok or if im bipolar and ****.

Well, one clue is frowning of coarse. It may be how there eyebrows if they're barely bending. Sometimes you can see it in there eyes, and not meaning tears. Sometime if a person looks tired they may actually be sad. It may depend on the person, too.
