Dear
Welcome to HCM
We understand your concerns

I went through your details. All the symptoms you are presenting here are surely directing towards depression. But you must also understand another aspect. You should be able to distinguish between disappointment and depression. Disappointment also manifests many of the symptoms of depression, but these disappointment symptoms are not much sever and short lived when compared to depression.

In your scenario, I think you are more disappointed with your career, education, life etc. Why are you disappointed? Why are you not motivated? I need to know about you and your attitude and aptitude. You are disappointed, lacks motivation, self confidence and self esteem. You will need motivation therapy and self confidence building therapy. You should consult a psychologist, not a psychiatrist.

If you still need my assistance in this regard, please use this link. http://goo.gl/aYW2pR. Please remember to describe the whole problem with full detail.

Hope this answers your query. Available for further clarifications.
Good luck. Take care.
