This may sound like a bit of a daft question but how do you know if your depressed?

    A visit to your GP might also be a good idea.

    Personally I think that it's when you feel it's having a negative impact on your life. Everyone has down days once in a while but sometimes if those episodes last for days and you just don't want to go out then I think that would be classed as depression. When I feel down I can cope with it by myself, usually by reading a book or sleeping..then I wake up feeling fine. However if you can't cope with it yourself then don't feel bad about going to see someone about it.
