There's a difference between "being depressed", "being in a bad mood" and "being cynical". Lots of people don't get that and diagnose themselves as depressed.
Case and point, I got dragged in by the teachers several times in secondary school because they thought I was having suicidal thoughts. I wasn't, I just have a cynical and sarscastic attitude naturally.

Been clinically diagnosed of it and though i don't feel it most of the time, sometimes there are surges and they last a long time. At those points, i have to call in "backup".

There are two overall types of depression, chronic and acute.

You can actually have both at the same time, which is really tough. I used to suffer from both of them, but since my mom is a psychiatrist she helped me to overcome it without having to use any kind of medicine.

would you mind sharing that, overcoming depression without the medications? because it will be very helpful for me

i used to, but apparently it doesn't count these days unless you're/you've been clinically diagnosed with it.
