can doctors tell when a patient is depressed?

Question

If the patient presents looking outwardly put together, nice clothes, hair in place, nice shoes, smiles genuinely appears confident, can doctors sense a patient's depression and sadness under all of the charade?? Are doctors good at reading patients

?? If a patient acts overly content to mask the depression and despair, can they sense it anyways since they are used to meeting all sorts of patients

Answer 1

Apparently not.  It appears my state health department requires physicians to ask (Every time I have a followup).

"Do you feel depressed?  Have you had suicidal thoughts?"

Answer 2

The eyes of depressed people do not glitter and assuming that anxiety is present the pupils are widened.
