Absolutely. A large portion of the mind is occupied by unconscious thoughts and emotions. You can definitely not realize it.

Many people assume that depression is easily identifiable, manifesting itself as persistent sadness that doesn't lift.As subtle and confusing as signs of depression can sometimes be.Depression is no fashionable affliction. In it is real, insidious, and when in full bloom, debilitating. Yet far too many people are oblivious to their own deep sadness or simply refuse to recognize it.

Yes, when you're unproductive to something you do, and having no interest at all. Then you are possibly experiencing depression.

It's a possibility, but most likely you would be aware. Though sometimes it can be hard to tell. You should talk to someone you trust about it to determine what to do. Just remember to stay strong love!

As a general rule of thumb if you are not bothered or distressed by a mental issue it is not an issue. Being depressed is a serious mental illness and while it creeping up might not be very obvious, having it is for most people.
There are different kinds of depression, such as bipolar personality disorder, major depression or a so called somatic depression, where people ignore their feelings and their body reacts, often with chronic, mostly diffuse, pains and symptoms.

That's very possible. There are criteria for depression and you can look that up online. Don't rely on just that to make any decisions, though. It's always good to get a professional's perspective to be sure.

You can most certainly live without knowing if you are or not. If you don't know what depression is you might not know why you're sad for a long time.
