Everyone becomes down or sad at times. Life events, or just a bad day can sometimes make us upset, and small things like bad traffic can make us irritable. This by itself probably isn’t depression.
When someone experiences constant feelings of sadness and irritability, is tired all the time and has no energy, stops participating in activities they used to like, that person maybe depressed.
Depression symptoms include very low self esteem, changing or irregular sleeping patterns, it could be either a lot more sleep or a lot less, or spending lots of time thinking about things that have gone wrong.
