Hi ! Those are all good questions!! Personally, I'm clinically depressed, so I'm depressed all the time -- except I take medication for it, and it has lifted my depression BIG TIME! 
I do know of others tho who have "situational" depression. They seem to have depression for as long as the problem persists -- and then when things improve, so does their depression.
Yes, it can go into remission. It's not a "life-long" illness unless you are clinically depressed. Many people do recover and are very happy again. Some never experience depression again, and others fall into it once more. It just depends on the cause & the person.
I hope I've answered SOME of the questions. I hope you're not depressed, but if you are -- talk to your doctor and he can refer you to a good therapist or if needed, he can put you on medication. God bless & take care. Hugs, Lee
