It's normal to feel down in early recovery. It takes a little while for the brain to return to normalcy.
If you are using the term "depression" to refer to this lack of joy, that's one thing. However, if you are suffering from "real" depression, you need to see a doctor. Being sober is a good time to deal with those issues that may have driven us to seek alcohol in the first place.
