How do you know you have depression and that you're not just a lazy, unpleasant coward?

I don't know, hopefully my doctor will be able to tell me after I meet with him tomorrow.
i would reckon that individuals possessing major depressive disorder or other depressive disorders are more likely than the average population to be lazy, unpleasant cowards
could be that depressive disorder develops from inability to cope with one's self being those things and an inability or unwillingness to change one's self or the perception of one's self
me, i tend to try and de-sterilize my depressive symptoms when they arise; wouldn't at all claim any depression out of principle. i tend more towards the explanation that character defects are the root cause, and certainly not some unassailable chemical imbalance that is only solved through psychotropic medication
i probably sound a bit bonkers but i'm pretty alright imo

Laziness doesn't make you suicidal

Nor does depression make you commit suicide. Sometimes depression keeps people from killing themselves because it saps them of motivation to do anything, even ending it all.

You don't, that's the beauty of it.

>a lazy, unpleasant coward
That's exactly what I think I am too. Wish I knew, though it's not like it'd change anything.
