Hello
Welcome to HCM.
I can understand your concerns.

In most cases of depression, insight is preserved and the person accepts and understand that he has depression.
It is mainly a clinical diagnosis based on symptoms like sad mood, hopelessness, helplessness, worthlessness, suicidal ideation etc.

If you feel that you are not depressed, you must discuss this with your doctor.

Thanks.
