Sometimes I'll be having a conversation with two or more other people, and suddenly I will feel like I have "left the building" and am no longer a part of the conversation and that they don't see me. I don't know to call that, but is that common in depression?

yes it is common for some people to have this type of spacing out symptoms with depression...
what is it called...
for some people its called normal spacing out,
for others its called psychosis, delusional, medications, stress, hallucinations, and other names...
what causes it...for some people its their meds, their depression converting into physical or other mental problems, just their way of being depressed other physical or mental health problems besides depression....
my suggestion contact your treatment providers. they can evaluate why this is happening to you and come up with solutions, for example if it turns out your meds are causing this then they can adjust/change your meds, if they think your depression is causing this they can prescribe more or less antidepressants to give you more peace of mind, if they think its hallucinations or other physical/mental health problems they can treat that too...
