How do u know if u suffer from a mental illness?

So basically I don't know if I suffer from a mental illness in this case depression. I constantly feel sad and all around me my friends and my family don't see it. I do t really have anyone to talk to about it, cause I don't really like my best friend cause she is really mean to me. And I cry a lot in bed when I am going to sleep sometimes every night for a week sometime only three nights. So I don't really know if I suffer from a mental health issue. My family also knows a lot about mental health because me sister suffers quite badly from a mental health issue. Thanks.

  • Depression in general is considered a mental illness

  • You should see a doctor if you want to verify an illness. It sounds like you have clinical depression but you really should go to a doctor, especially if your sister has mental health issues as well. Good luck xx

  • If my best friend was mean to me, I'd be depressed too.

    That's justified depression, not depressive disorder.

    See a doctor if you are really concerned.
