Yup, the person above said everything. I think the only think she missed was persistent crying. But overall, just because you have depression doesn't mean you have to nurture it and let it grow. SImply move on with your life and live each day to your fullest. Don't think too much about depression, the more you think about having it, the more you will bring it into your life.

Hope I Helped...:)
