> Hello, what do you think, dificulties to make decisions is a sign of depression or a lack of skill?.
Could be either one or the other or both and could be due to other things too. Avoidance or anxiety or troubles with memory...
> I suffer when I have to make decision that involve emotional components and change of relations (change work, quit a relationship).Who doesn't?
Seriously, stuff like that is hard for anyone I think. That being said some people struggle more than others.I guess CBT could be helpful. You could do therapy where dealing with this is your treatment goal so the therapy would be focused on working out what is holding you back from making these kinds of decisions. The therapist could help your decision making skills while keeping an eye out for related issues like depression or anxiety or whatever where other skills and / or medication could be a useful addition to trying to deal with the problem.
