If you think you might be depressed, it’s best to look for a psychiatrist who can make an assessment. I’m providing this info for educational purposes only, please don’t diagnose yourself.
To be officially diagnosed with depression, you’d need to have at least five of the following symptoms for at least 2 weeks, and at least one of the boldened symptoms needs to be present:
More goes into the diagnosis (like for example ruling out medical conditions and substance use), so once again, please don't just diagnose yourself based on this list.
