Is this Depression?
I think I am showing signs of depression, but I am not sure about it. I'm not sure if I really am suffering from those symptoms, such as feelinga of hopelessness and suicidal thoughts, but sometimes, maybe. I actually hate myself so much for being like this. I don't want to go to school or do any work anymore for no particular reason. I just don't feel like it. I also seldom experience auditory hallucinations and I also had moderately excessive hairloss. What is happening to me, doctor?

Health Tips
In case of any suicidal thoughts please do take caution. Distract thoughts and get involved in talking to someone or in any other activity. In case this does not help call a suicidal helpline to speak with a counsellor. Keep few friends whom you trust informed about your thought and take their help to speak to when in need .
