The occurrence of suicidal thoughts is not crucial to diagnose major depression. According to the academic definition, major depression occurs when the patient is unable to work, has a clear psychomotor slowdown, cognitive dysfunction (problems with memory, concentration), etc. I encourage you to make an appointment with a psychiatrist who will adjust the treatment according to your current clinical condition.
