Fatigue, No Social Interaction. Depression?
How can I know if I'm depressed? And what should I do if I think I am? I'm a 21 year old Swedish male who've just gotten enough of being tired, I've barely went outdoor at all the past year or so, except for buy groceries and stuff, and even that I can find myself without mostly of the time. The times I've seen my friends the past year is to be counted on 2 hands.

Hello
Welcome to HCM
You have symptoms like easy fatiguability, poor social interaction, less number of friends. If these are only symptoms present then it can not be labelled as a depressive disorder. But depression in milder from may present with lack of energy, easy fatiguability, pervasive sadness of mood, sleep dysfunction, poor or increased appetite, pains in body etc symptoms. Still if you want to know about your symptoms you can visit a Psychiatrist for evaluation.
Thanks
