This isn't surprising. Depression is now the most common psychological problem in the Western world, and rates are rising fast.

But how can you tell the difference between feeling low and the beginning of true depression? Here are three questions that will help you decide whether your mood is temporary or whether you may be suffering from full-blown clinical depression.

First, do your symptoms represent a substantial change from the way you usually feel? In other words, if you're usually an active person who loves sports, have you lost interest in all sporting activities? If you normally love to socialise, do you now avoid seeing even good friends? There are no absolute levels of mood or behaviour that define depression. Instead, you need to look out for any big changes in the way you generally think and feel.
