See a therapist: The only one who needs to believe you are depressed is you. No one can tell you how you feel. See a trained therapist, find out why your are depressed and try solutions to resolve the issues and being depressed will no longer be an issue. Live happily.

Depression screens include: Zung Self-Rating Depression Scale, Hamilton Depression Rating Scale (HAM-D), Quick Inventory of Depressive Symptomatology, Patient Health Questionnaire 9-item (PHQ-9), Beck Depression Inventory,
