Thanks for asking this question, it's one I wonder about often.

When depressed I don't believe it's very likely. I see people on here struggling for so long. And I know depression is "treatable" but no one offers a "cure".

I'm am SURE that some people are lucky and respond to treatment so well that it's like they don't have depression.

from what I can gather/guess, a complete cure would take a long time. If it's purely biological, the right medicine + therapy to fix the holes depression caused. If it's purely situational, medicine to stabilize + LOTS of therapy to fix the holes life caused AND the holes the resulting depression caused. So I really don't know.

I wish I did. I want someone to tell us YES THERE'S A CURE! Wouldn't it be amazing if we could take insulin, just like a diabetic and be fine!
