I think it would depend alot on your history. The psychologist goes by a book and if you have 5 out of 9 symptoms you are considered depressed. A loss and grief can cause it, stress can cause it, big changes in your life can cause it. Just because you may be currently depressed does not mean you have clinical depression.
How long have you been feeling this way?
Has this happened at other times in your life?
Depression can be a symptom of underlying deeper issues. Trauma, abuse, neglect, ect
