How do you go about identifying depression rather than laziness as a reason for your inactivity?

And for other people's inactivity?

Asking those who have the illness and/or have someone who does in their lives

For me, laziness is feeling like I could do something but really can't be bothered to do it. Other than that it has no impact on my day. Depression made me feel like the smallest responsibility was a mountain and it ruined my whole day. It was more like a crushing weight than a minor irritant.
