The data you provided is not enough for definitive diagnose.
Depression is a condition that is characterized with low mood, low self-esteem, and lost of pleasure in normally enjoyable activities. Depressed people may be preoccupied with thoughts and feelings of worthlessness, inappropriate guilt or regret, helplessness, hopelessness, and self hatred. Other symptoms include poor concentration and memory, withdrawal from social situations and activities, reduced sex drive, and thoughts of death or suicide.
If you experience some or most of these symptoms, you might be experiencing depression. However, sometimes it might need longer observation by health care professional (preferably psychiatrist) to determine the exact type of depression and the best therapy.
