> For me, the early signs of depression are feeling lazy. I am less interested and motivated to do things. Eventually, I begin to feel drained of energy and vegetative. I tend to stare into space. I lose my ability to read with comprehension and exhibit memory impairments. I become less interested in being around people and am generally less social.
Interesting. I'm nearly always feeling lazy and non-social, at least for a large portion of the day.

>That's interesting. By those measures I'd say I veer from high depression up to low depression, and very occasionally reach the halfway mark between normal and hypomanic. Back when I was diagnosed unipolar depressive and on SSRI only, I'd range up to hypomanic.
