I need to know if i'm depressed. what are the symptoms?

Depression sx: Symptoms include sad or irritable mood and loss of interest in activities you previously enjoyed, for at least 2 weeks. Also there are changes in sleep, energy, and appetite -- either too much or too little. (too much energy would be feeling of agitation.) loss of sexual libido. Can be suicidal thoughts and plans.
