If you want a quick and dirty answer: You know you're depressed when you're persistently sad *and* you feel like you can't do anything to change that.
If you're unsure, see your doctor.

Depression is not just an extension of sadness. In addition to low mood and loss of interest, depression can have other troubling symptoms, including:
Sleep problems: either sleeping too much, being unable to fall asleep, or waking up in the night
Appetite issues: either eating too much, or not wanting to eat
Low energy levels
Concentration problems
Negative thinking or feeling very pessimistic

When you are depressed, you'll know. Depression isn't just I feel a little sad today. It's I've felt sad continuously for a few weeks or months. You may not enjoy things you use to, be more tired, and just be worn out when you haven't done anything.

I think that sadness its a momentary feeling that will eventually pass with time. Depresion It is based on a permanent grief, sadness in the long run, a sadness that dominates our brain which doesnt allow you to feel any other feeling but negative feelings. Ill hope that i make my self clear:)

It is not a mood. It won't just disappear, no matter what anyone says or what you want to feel like. So please, if your sadness is incurring and not going away, seek help. We're all here for you and we aren't going anywhere. Xx

Depression is usually a reoccurring feeling of sadness thay can come about with no clear reason. Sadness usually occurs right after something sad happens or takes place.

If you have felt this way for more than two weeks and you have feelings of worthlessness or uselessness and you feel like you are alone and empty, you are more likely to have depression than just be sad.
