A family doctor can diagnose depression. He or she will ask you numerous questions (which need to be answered truthfully), in regards to how you are feeling and why you think you may be depressed. Once you have answered these questions they will decide by your answers if you are depressed or not. Being diagnosed as being depressed is not a major obstacle to overcome as some people may think. If your doctor diagnoses you as being mildly depressed, then he can put you on an antidepresant medication. In cases of sever depression, other avenues are available. Make a doctors appointment and see what the doc tells you and Good Luck.How do doctors figure out if you have depression?
they can tell because of changes in your behavior.. if you go out less, seem uninterested in things you usually enjoy. neglect friends. etc. these are signs of depression. and many many many people suffer from it you are not alone. you can get help from a councelor at a school or talk to a family member that you trust a lot. it is a chemical imbalance and nothing wrong with that it can be treated and thee is medication out there for that if youre interested
Doctors can't really help with depression. All they can do is give you drugs that may hide the symptoms for awhile, but can end up turning you into a Columbine type monster. Much smarter would be to go to your pastor. If you don't have a pastor, MAYBE a councellor. But the problem is in your lifestyle and attitude, not in your chemistry. Confess your sins, and find ways to serve others, and your depression will resolve itself.

all intangilbe ,, a feeling
yes you should. they ask questions about how you feel, your mood, and your activities. signs include depressed mood for significant period, inability to enjoy thing you used to, hopelessness, sudden weight loss or gain, etc
They give you a questionaire. You don't need a doctor for that though. You can find questionaires on the internet. Most doctors do not use blood tests.
