I was depressed in my 20's and early 30's because of my life experiences/background. A whole lot of therapy and changing my life/growing and having/fostering better experiences in my 30's and 40's worked together so I am not depressed and anxious as I was. I would say my depression "went away" but it took 40+ years. I think my primary focus for many of those years was "getting/feeling better" so nearly half of my life was spent in therapy. I did not marry until I was nearly 40 and spent my time that way. My DH is supportive of my mental/health and was helpful clearing my overall anxiety/depression in the 25+ years we have known one another.
