I portray all symptoms of chronic depression listed on webmd except for thoughts of suicide could i possibly have chronic depression?

Depression: One does not have to have thoughts of suicide to be depressed. If you have the other symptoms then i would consider you to have chronic depression. You should seek out a physician to discuss options.

Absolutely.: Many persons have what is referred to as masked depression, where they have many or most symptoms such as loss of interest in normally pleasurable activities or perhaps insomnia and lethargy or loss of appetite ... Yet they do not feel suicidal or even sad. They can benefit very much from treatment of depression, especially from safe, non-addictive antidepressants.
