Happiness is different for many people, especially those with mental illnesses like depression. You know you are truly happy for the most part, when you can smile a genuine smile or the cloud has lifted from your life and you can see the light.

You don't. Happiness is a moving target. Focus more on this question: am I living my life authentically, in a way that feels fulfilling and aligns with my values and desires?

Personally, I know I am truly happy when I am content with the way things are. They don't necessarily have to be bad but they aren't always good either. I am fine with the schedule I have or if I'm not, I'm able to change. Don't let your goals be limited by wanting to achieve "true happiness". It doesn't show up like a celebrity entering a school prom, it's more like a condition / state-of-mind.

When I know if I'm truly happy is I can breathe without feeling stress out, having friends that are there for me when I need them, and of course my family members.

There's no checklist. If you were, you'd feel it. But there is always something that can be improved, which is the beauty of life. The beauty is in the journey not the destination.

When you know that you're finding joy in every work you do.
When people's judgement doesn't really bother you anymore.
When your parents have become proud of the person you have become, keeping the fact in mind that you are happy being this way.
Each time you look in the mirror, you can't be more proud of the person standing in front of you... That my friend, is where you can say that you're happy.

It depends how you define true happiness but I think it is when you feel content in the moment. All depends on the individual.
