Dear lybrate-user. Losing some one close to you is a big known stressor. Any body at your place could have developed depression. You need to take medicine to get at least 60 to 70 % improvement in symptoms. A psychiatrist can start cognitive behaviour therapy session for improvement. All these modality are good and effective. All d best!

Hello, There are many aspects of depression, the more of them you have the more likely you are to have a clinical depression. Some patients feel severely depressed and suicidal. If you have these feelings you should go to the emergency department immediately. Other things that people with depression can feel are sadness, low energy, lack of motivation, poor sleep, irritability, weight gain or loss, poor self image and sometimes even a lack of touch with reality. The more of these symptoms you have the more likely it is that you have serious depression. Treatments for depression include medications, counseling and exercise. Again the more of these you do the better your chance for a successful treatment. Good luck to you,
