For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.I read recently that you should ask yourself the question "what would you do if you won a million pounds?"
If you said, that you will buy your house, go on holiday, give up work, provide for your family etc then you are not depressed.
If you answer 'I dont know' then you may be suffering from depression.
Simple but effective.
Hope you feel better soon. Depression is serious and I would urge you to talk to your doctor.
good luck

There is a test called a BDI test which helps to determine if you are depressed or not.
Im not sure if your GP can give you this test but I was referred to a psychiatric nurse by my GP and I got it there.
Its simply just answering questions about how you sleep, your day to day mood, apetite, motivation and energy levels , things like that.
As louisa said, if you've been depressed before then you'll probably be able to recognise the symptoms.
You can even go to your GP just for a chat about how your feeling and take it from there.
