Some people say depression is anger turned inward too. Sometimes it's about loss. The causes vary widely.

Sad can be part of it but often feeling sad has nothing to do with it. Very often. When I am depressed I never feel sad, I feel numb. I might seem sad but that is because my mental functions have slowed down so much. Inside I don't feel sad.

For many people anger and irritability can be part of it and mood swings. It depends on your total symptoms, severity, length of time, etc.
