Hello and welcome to Healthcare Magic. Thanks for your query.
Feeling depressed and crying often without reason could be indicative that you are developing a depressive disorder. You have mentioned that your life has been going on smoothly, but still you are feel depressed. Depression need not be always due to stress and difficulties in life. Certain neuro-chemical imbalances in the brain can affect a person's mood and result in depression.
It is good that you have been able to identify your problem early. Now, it is important that you seek professional help as early as possible. Earlier the intervention, better will be the outcome and quicker will be the recovery. So, I would advise you to consult a psychiatrist in your place for a detailed evaluation and further treatment. There are effective treatment options - in the form of medication and psychotherapy, which will help you overcome your problems.
Wish you all the best.
