k, ive got some quetions bout depression. is there like a kind of checklist or something out there that can tell you if your depressed? b/c i kinda think i am but im not sure. what are some symptons? for about 5 weeks or so now, ive been feeling a little odd, i have mood swings, i get mad or upset for no apparent reason to me, cant sleep very well, and a couple of other little things. if i am depressed then there are 1 or 2 things that might attribute to me being depressed. so if anyone could help itd be great. thxz.

try doing a google search for depression. Thats what i did and I realised that I am. Also, I might suggest looking up Bipolar Disorder as well. You might have that as well. And Anxiety. I myself suffer from all 3. So just do a google search and I'm sure that will help answer your questions.

Google "Goldberg Index" that should give you an idea of what may be going on. It is better than listing all the symptoms here and if you think you may be depressed, you should be thoroughly evaluated by a professional. Good luck.

Hey, i'm very much like you, I didn't know if i was depressed but I wanted to find out. While I was at school doing research I decided to do a google search on depression and it brought up like 4 different tests that you could take to find out. Try those, they seriously help a lot.
