depression is caused by a chemical imbalance in the brain and effects people in different ways, many who are suffering from depression arent completely aware of it, but those close to them might be. if you have drastically changed your habits, are tired or sleepless, crying, or angry, you may be suffering from depression however i strongly suggest you see a doctor as there are many types of depression that only a doctor can diagnose. you could be mildly depressed, suicidal, bipolar, etc. GO SEE A DOCTOR!!!! you cant just snap out of it, or wish it away, you need to be diagnosed and treated before it gets out of control. remember you can still function, laugh etc while depressed so dont put it off!!!!!

If you feel that your life/situation/current moment is hopeless and you feel helpless to change it, you are depressed. Go to the kitchen, open up a can of tuna or salmon, eat 1/2 of it (with mayonnaise on bread, or with fruit or vege), drink a glass of water, lay down for 30 minutes - or do mild exercise and then ask yourself if things still look hopeless and you feel helpless to change it.

Depression can be the result of low blood sugar (hypoglycemia). If the snack perks you up, check out www.hufa.org for more info on what to do about low blood sugar.
