Hi, all.  I’m new to this sub.  I’ve suffered from depression since I was quite young.  I’ve always put it at about 8 years old.  But in hindsight, there are things before then that are pretty clear indicators.  But the earliest thing I can remember that I think might be an early sign is that I always hated my name.  I remember once, when I was probably about 4 years old, my mom asked us if we liked our names.  My siblings both said yes, but I emphatically said no.

What do you think?  Back then, I don’t think my parents would have had any way of recognizing some of the early signs.  But if a young kid today says something like that, should people view it as a possible sign of depression?
