NORMAL- no not?: I think what you mean is whether depression is COMMON in 18 year olds? If you believe you are suffering from DEPRESSION then, it's worth speaking to someone, your parents, siblings, school counselor, psychologist. Often, people mistake CLINICAL DEPRESSION for being sad or reacting to an unfavorable situation. Those types of things do not make a diagnosis of depression. Talk with someone please.
