This sounds really weird.. but how do you know if your depressed or just plain sad? Not that I am I just wondered.

If you're sad all the time, I think that's depression

to me, depression is when it hurts to live… (mentally)

offtopic: 100th post!!! woot!

If you think that there is no point for you to live any more and nothing makes you laugh or even smile.

If you are depressed most of the time then you have depression, but its normal to feel sad every once in a while.

If you wake up each day, and your first emotion is sadness, youre depressed.

if you do pretty much nothing all day and you hardly ever want to leave the house even to see some mates your depressed, not good thing to go through

it depends if u are ALWAYS sad or just sometimes from a specific thing

hahaha im happy as larry! but now that i think about…ur post depresses me :(

my mom is depressed for like 10 years and more..:(

idk, ask a therapist

ROFL, you made me laugh. If you are depressed, you know it mate ;)
EDIT: I was laughing at the guy above me.

I would say if your making this thread your proably pretty concerned about yourself go talk to someone it couldnt hurt.

yeah i agree u should go talk to someone u seem really concerned

Wiki: In everyday language depression refers to any downturn in mood, which may be relatively transitory and perhaps due to something trivial. This is differentiated from Clinical depression which is marked by symptoms that last two weeks or more and are so severe that they interfere with daily living.

ya. I would go to a theripast. AND DONT KILL YOURSELF!!!!

seriously

wow.. knowing depressed people can make u depressed its sad. no pun intended

well if your asking about depression, you probably are depressed

You are depressed only if you chose to be.

I beleive its all just a state of mind, if you want to be happy you will be happy, if you want to be depressed you will be depressed, always think positive…

That's not entirely true. For some people, depression is a mental illness. The only cure for some of those people is through drugs (anti-depressants).
