Do you think people sometimes confuse depression and low self esteem?

I've seen posts from people that talk about how they need constant reassurance that they're pretty and good enough and they feel badly about themselves in general because theyre depressed however they don't exhibit any other "symptoms" of depression.

From personal experience, when I was depressed, I didn't feel amazing about myself but I also was too depressed to really even care. If I smelled, looked like a mess, I didn't care...especially enough to complain about it to others.

I slept a lot and just stayed in bed- my figure was my least of my concerns. I just wanted motivation again.

Now I know everyone experiences things differently and having a bad self image can contribute to depression but do you think a overall lack of self worth is considered depression?
