Hi dear.

I understand your concern.

Traumatic events can lead to depression. .
If depressive features are persisted and affect your daily routine activities then need to treat.

Morning worsening might indicate malencholic depression but it is difficult to say without evaluation of your mental status.

It can be treated with councelling and supportive psychotherapy.

Drugs like SSRI can be useful but only indicated after proper diagnosis.

So consult psychiatrist and get help.

Still if you have a query then feel free to ask.

Wish you a very good health.

Thank you.
