You know you are depression if:
1. You sleep for long periods of time.
2. You focus on yourself and your situation. No friends, no family or no one else.
3. Your pysical appearance is changing not for the better either in weight loss/gain or hygiene.
Here are some recommendations:
1. Go for walks in parks woods or along beaches. When you were employed you paid taxes and those taxes paid for those public arenas such as National Parks, local parks, libraries, etc. So you might as well use what you have paid for.
2. Exercise!!!! LIfting weights or aerobics or bicyling. Anything to get oxygen to your brain and get those endorphins rushing. Good advantage is you will look toned, vibrant and fresh for those next interview when they occur.
3. Do something for some one else. If it is just reading at the library for children or helping with voter registration for the elderly or something that uses any of the many talent you have. YOur skilss and talents are worth immeasurably more than the dollars you fleetingly earn.
4. I recommend reading Psalms 35, Psalms 23, Psalms 112 and Deuteronomy 8. As long as you're waithing for your next job you might as well be waiting patiently and in peace.
5. Also consider all the things you wanted to do when you were working but couldn't. Have you finished that book or attended that class or started the project which you put off, due to work? Don't get depress over not doing them get inspired.

P.S.
If you must seek professional, then see if your unemplyment office know of any resources that are free or low-cost. Usually talking with some one at a job club or community center (church, univerisity, outplacement center).
THE LAST THING YOU SHOULD CONSIDER IS A PHARMACEUTICAL SOLUTION FOR DEPRESSION. (1) Drugs are expensive, be they legal/illegal and on limited income this will only make your cash flow worse.
(2) The side effects are listed on the package but definitely unpredicatable for each human.
