I was curious as to what extent someone can be depressed without realising that they are.

For a long time I've known I'm not as happy as I used to be, most often feeling indifferent & also find that I enjoy activities less than I used to. Both these as far as I am aware can be signs of depression yet I don't feel that I am down. Something that may explain why I deny being depressed however is that I tend to ignore negative emotions rather than letting them overwhelm me. It was certainly the case I had quite bad anxiety last year without realising it so I am wondering if the same is going on here.

I've plenty of reason to feel down... I'm dealing with psychosis, I'm unemployed, I'm socially isolated, I'm not happy with the way I look because I have hair loss yet apart from fleeting thoughts I don't dwell on any of this.

If I am depressed I guess it's only mild so what would sort of recommendations would you guys have for dealing with it? Is it worth bringing it up with my psychiatrist the next time I see him? I read somewhere even mild depression untreated can lead to further & more severe recurrences so I was leaning to at least broaching the subject with my p-doc the more I think about it even if I am unsure about it.

Thanks for any replies.
