How did you know you were clinically depressed? What does depression look like?

I asked T if he thought I was depressed recently, and he asked "do you think you are?" Well, I'm not a T, I DON'T KNOW!

At my next session, he described the symptoms of depression to me. I could relate to a lot of them - loss of interest in activities that used to be enjoyable, changes in sleep habits, a couple of others that I can't remember right now.

But I am not weepy, and I AM managing to get through my day to day stuff.

I guess I don't really know what depression looks like.

Would anyone care to share their experience??
