Brief Answer:
Counselling

Detailed Answer:

Hi,

The symptoms you describe do fit in to consider depression but they have to be evaluated via thorough counseling sessions by a psychiatrist only to ascertain that the symptoms are not subjective.

Being started on antidepressant medications should be the last resort to combat the same. I suggest you to consult a psychiatrist.
