Mephex is right-- try just getting some excercise, and see if that works. Inactivity can cause the body's systems to stagnate a little bit, and this can bring on depressive feelings even if you don't have any really serious problems (e.g., death of a loved one)
For a couple months, I was so depressed I just couldn't leave bed. I'd go to work and class and spend the day on autopilot, and this led to a vicious cycle where I ended up spending nearly all of my free time sequestered in bed by myself, just sort of stewing in the raw pit of my stomach.
One day I ran about a block or so for the bus, and just that little bit of physical exertion made me feel better. So that night I ran from my front door all the way to the beach and back, about seven miles all together. I was so tired I could barely move when I got home. I fell asleep right away, and when I woke up the next morning I went running again. After a week or so, I was my old self again.
I know that something as simple as jogging won't be a miracle cure for everyone who's depressed, I'm just telling what worked for me.
