I suggest you not to worry much. The symptoms you provide here do correspond with depression. But you should know that even disappointment in life circumstances can have depressive effects.  These are mental disorders and not diseases. These are mental conditions rather, manifested itself out of wrong perceptions and stimuli. Numerous researchers and researches emphasise againn and again on the fact that mental disorders cannot be cured only with the help of psychiatric medicines. You need to alter your life style so as to suit the requirement, change your thinking patters and maintain positive body metabolism. Psychotherapy techniques, yoga, meditation etc should help you achieve these requirements. A trained psychologist / psychotherapist can help you in this aspect.
