See your doctor: Depression is a serious medical disorder, and only your physician can diagnose your condition. Please see a doctor soon to discuss your symptoms.

Hmmm: Depression is classified into several types depending on the symptoms, their severity and frequency. Since you didn't give us any symptoms, we can't classify it for you.
