inability to concentrate
significant weight loss or gain
significant change in sleep patterns (inability to fall asleep, stay asleep, or get up in the morning)

aches and pains (even though nothing is physically wrong)

Most of the time depression is characterized by feeling down for two or three weeks in a row. You loose interest in the things that you once enjoyed. You have no desire to be around loved ones and often time weight gain or loss is a symptom. Also, if you sleep frequently to escape reality then you may be depressed. Discuss your concerns with a counselor to help rationalize what you are feeling (if this question pertains to you). Remember, depression is dangerous if left untreated.

One of the best tools that i found when i was asking myself this question is the Burns Depression Inventory/Checklist. Here's a link: http://infohost.nmt.edu/~shar/Counseling/counseling_images/Burns%20Depression%20Checklist.pdf
It's a great way to evaluate your own moods, and compare it to a reliable chart to evaluate your own level of depression.
