I think the biggest difference is that when you are sensitive you feel more intensely, which means you feel great pain, as well as deep joy.

Maybe you are both and it’s totally okey. We all feel depressed and sensitive at times and it more then okey.

It's possible that you may be depressed because you're sensitive, and bad situations easily bring you down. If you feel low constantly, and find that you're isolating yourself from others often, you may be depressed. However, it's always better to check with a therapist/psychologist instead of self-diagnosing. Remember that 7Cups is always here for you to talk more, and that's it's okay to feel as you do about any situation.

Well it depends on how you act in the long run. You can be hurt more easily than others true, but it can only really be considered depression if there are lasting effects on your physical and mental health. All of this is hard to measure however so the best way to really tell is through a proper diagnosis.

This question, in my opinion, has the potential for quite a lengthy talk if one would want hash it out. Because there is a lot to be said about this from my perspective I will stick to saying that I think it's actually both. Sensitivity and just about any emotion, depression being no exception, go hand in hand. Emotions are sensors just like hot and cold. The thing is... we tend to believe that emotions are imposed ONTO us when they very much belong to us and are trying, lovingly, to guide you. Pain equals "cold," you're off. Positive emotions are "warm," you're on the ball. And therein lies a whole new conversation.

Depression is a label that can cover many emotions and actions. Depression is not just sadness, but you may experience an empty feeling, like you have no purpose. Do you feel sad or empty?

You could be very well both, it depends on how you feel. If you’re feeling lack of interest in daily routines, you quite possibly can be depressed. And I’d suggest asking a doctor or counselor. Being sensitive is more just that you’re a little more emotional to things that people are.

That would depend on how your feeling, and symptoms you are having. The best way to find out is to speak with a trained professional.
