How do you tell if your depressed?

Question

Sometimes I feel extremely happy, but other times..... Yuck! I feel like the world is coming to an end and for no reason! Can I have some Advice?

Answer 1

you should go to the doctor to take some tests because it could be depression or bi-polar.... and depression is different for everyone. Some eat too much, some don't eat at all, some deliberately hurt themselves while other's exclude themselves from the world. I think you should go to the doctor or if you are in school - go to a social worker.

Answer 2

Go to a doctor and talk to them how u r feeling about your self and life, they might suggest counseling but it helps out when u really need someone to talk to, a doctor is a really good person to talk to how u r feeling and whats been going on? They might suggest to put u on medication and see if that works if not try a higher dose and u might need counseling along with medication or just 1 of the 2. Do u have a family history of depression? like my family does on my moms side. I hope that helps some.

Answer 3

I would say that you probably need to get out more and make the best out your life. This however normal. It's called having the blues, but if you feel this way for more than two months than I would suggest that you contact a family counselor. Hope you feel better :).

Answer 4

Yes depression really sucks and if you are in it you can't tell.. you sound like you are suffering from manic-depression or bi polar... it is very treatable.. see you doc ok... it does not have to be this way.. you will see.
