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

thanks Lee

i am interested to find out what others have experienced, because my wife and i both suffer from depression, but probably different kinds

and she currently blames the depression that i experienced in the past for the depression that she has now. erm… yeah, not sure what the logic is behind that, but anyway, maybe i'm just missing something

anyway, so quite it's a long story behind my questions, too long for this thread…

but thanks for your feedback!!
