Is it depression to want to die all the time?

Thinking about dying all the time does not necessarily mean depression, because depression contains very many symptoms, such as low mood, unhappiness, pessimism, negativity, and even thoughts of dying. However, having a single symptom of wanting to die does not mean that it is already depression. One must look at the patient’s current emotional experience, especially if they can be happy and do their own thing. If you suspect depression, you must do a systematic examination, such as psychiatric examination or psychological test, commonly used psychological test methods are depression self-assessment scale, symptom self-assessment scale, etc. If there has been very serious suicidal and self-harming behavior, you must pay attention to it and go to the hospital in time. Because if such a problem occurs, it may be more dangerous and must be clear to go to the hospital. In summary, wanting to die all the time is very likely to be a sign of depression, but it is not always a sign of having depression.
