Symptoms of depression are great in number, and can not be very noticeable sometimes, some are: loss or gain in appetite, hypersomnia or insomnia, loss of energy, causing harm to them self, less enjoyment in activities they used to enjoy, the list goes on.

So, it is actually quite hard to tell if someone is depressed.

I would ask yourself, is there any reason for them to suffer from depression? -Have they experienced it before? -Have they undergone hardship(loss of a loved one, loss of a job, stressful situations et cetera)? -Do they suffer from any health problems that could lead to depression?

Then, I would ask the person in question. If they say that they think or know they are, make sure they are receiving appropriate treatment, contact their or your doctor etc, however if they deny it yet you still think there is a possibility, ask your own doctor as what steps to take to ensure this person can receive treatment - if they need it.

I wish you the very best, and hope that the person you're trying to help makes it through alright.

A feeling of hostility or animosity, or a feeling that leaves you emotionally hurt or temporarily depressed.
