Do I have deppresion? (read details)

I took several test to determine whether or not I have depression, and they claim I do. I have had suicidal thoughts and the rest of the symptoms but sometimes I have moments where I want to laugh or smile. Is it possible to have happy moments when you're depressed? I have also heard of bipolar-depression but that's why I'm asking... because I have no idea. Hopefully I will be able to see a doctor to ask all these questions soon. But please help.

Sounds like you have a form of depression. There are many forms and the illness can be treated with meds. Yes, all that you mention are forms of depression and anxiety dear.
These illnesses are caused by chemical imbalances and some are inherited.
Please see a doctor. He will be able to advise you on the issues at hand.
Know many have this illness, as I do myself, but there is help. Prayer has helped me also. I find prayer very powerful. Family support is also important. God bless.

You are welcome. You will most likely have a med to take.....they do help, but the doctor usually says the meds will kick in , in a few weeks, but it really is more like 2 months etc...but you will feel better. You may not need meds forever, it depends on the degree of your illness. So many people are in depression with the stress in life today..God bless.....

Don't ever think of suicidal activity. It's just wrong. That's GODS most biggest fear of someone committing suicide. Don't have thoughts to do it. And try to stay away from depression. If you are really depressed just write a letter about how you feel. I did when we gave away my dog. But my parents read it. They understood. But don't do suicidal activity. Please!

You need to talk to a professional or a pastor.

You might have symptoms of depression, but you can't diagnosis yourself. Please see a doctor or a psychologist soon and they can help you. Meanwhile, find some good books or movies that make you happy and make you laugh and use those as a way to occupy yourself in your free time. The winter weather makes some people sad, and maybe you're just going thru a blah time right now. Take care of you.
