I was once told, if you think your mad your most likely not, depression creeps up on you (believe me I've suffered). In the words of Radiohead song Just (about depression) "Creeps like a comet suckers you but not your friends" my advice would be to confide in friends and family about your worries,a problem shared and all that, if they care enough they will give you an honest answer and a much better and accurate one than you'll ever receive on here. Take care.
