how do you know when a person is hiding their depression?

[plasticheartsandsmiles]

i'm pretty sure that one of my best friends is really depressed. she hasnt come out and told me, but she's making really irrational decisions in her life, distancing herself from people who love her, and says how she feels confused with the direction her life is taking. when she was younger she saw a counselor and got put on meds but im not sure if shes still on them or not. i know depression runs in her family, too.if she cares about me so much, why cant she talk to me about it? i'm going to be there to love her and help her out more than she can even imagine. how do i approach her about what shes doing in her life????
