Hi Shangrala ~ Whimsygirl is right - depression is sneaky! There are no warning signs, no alarms, no red lights when it's going to hit. Perhaps you're like me and have clinical depression, where your body doesn't produce the needed hormones & "stuff" that are needed to keep us on an even keel, so we need antidepressants. I've been depressed since I was a small child but my parents didn't notice anything as they were too busy getting drunk.  So I didn't get antidepressants until I was in my 20's and I've been on antidepressants for almost 40 years. 
You might try therapy first and see how that goes. That may relieve your depression. Or ask your therapist if he thinks you might be "clinical."
I wish you the very best. I hope you find some answers to your questions. God bless & take care. Hugs, Lee
