I think you mean feeling sad due to loneliness.

Sadness is not same as depression.

Clinical depression is only diagnosed if you feel low more or less constantly for 2 weeks with other biological features such as low energy, reduced interest, disturbed sleep etc...

yes definitely depression due to loneliness. if a person live alone and they do not have some friends to share the things which he had his mind then he get loneliness and get the depression. friends are must to share the things.

Loneliness is a feeling, usually sad and sometimes devastating, that one needs more companionship than one is currently getting.
It is of five types::
1. Interpersonal Loneliness
You miss somebody who was once close to you. This type of loneliness is closely associated with grief. You're always on the lookout for a new loved one. But, if you find a new potential partner before you heal, you're so afraid of more rejection or desertion that you watch him or her like a hawk.
2. Social Loneliness
The individual feels cut off from a group that he or she feels is important...ostracism, exile... This type of loneliness is often imposed on minority groups.
Why not solve the problem of ostracism by defining the group that has rejected you as "not important"? Sure, as long as you're not in the minority group, persons diagnosed with mental illness (consumers). If consumers define those who are prejudiced against them as "not important," they cut out most of the population.
Defined more accurately, social loneliness is what you feel when you are unwillingly cut off from a social group that is very important for your survival or well-being, and there's nothing you can do about it right now.
3. Culture Shock
The loneliness that happens when you move to a whole new culture. This probably includes social loneliness, since most cultures reject foreigners at least somewhat.
4. Cosmic Loneliness
Everybody feels cosmic loneliness sometimes. It's also known as "existential loneliness," the sense that it's not possible to achieve perfect, complete intimacy with another person. It's this type of loneliness that turns our attention to a higher power. This is what philosophers, priests and ministers can help with.
5. Psychological Loneliness
