Symptoms of depression can vary from  mild to server this symptoms can include:

• Feeling sad or having a depressed mood
• Loss of interest or pleasure in activities once enjoyed
• Changes in appetite — weight loss or gain unrelated to dieting
• Trouble sleeping or sleeping too much
• Loss of energy or increased fatigue
• Increase in purposeless physical activity (e.g., inability to sit still, pacing, handwringing) or slowed movements or speech (these actions must be severe enough to be observable by others)
• Feeling worthless or guilty
• Difficulty thinking, concentrating or making decisions
• Thoughts of death or suicide

This are some symptoms of clinical depression, these are hard to miss meaning sometimes its very easy to see if someone is suffering from this metal illness.

But like we said in the previous post clinical depression can be treated.

Treatments for depression can include:

• Therapy 
• medication
• Self-helping and coping e.g exercising, writing , painting....basically just things that specific person is passionate about.

What is highly recommended is therapy and medication, society has a huge opinion on medication, people thing they will be too depended on them but that is not the case, some people just need that extra push to keep them going not everyone can handle the mental illness and the struggles that come with it.
