To me, it does appear that you may have some symptoms of depression and might be helped by an antidepressant. I would highly recommend talk therapy, too, if it's available, as this can help to corroborate the doctor's diagnosis and provide very valuable insights and benefits.
There are different shades and degrees of depression, and some people unfortunately have a much harder time making a go of it than others. You may not fall into that category but might have some problem areas that are holding you back--embarking on an antidepressant treatment can be a means towards self improvement and making you a happier and more fulfilled person.
