I always wonder the same thing. Are you against taking meds? Some people seem to have success with it. In my opinion I don't think that depression will go away completely because it's a natural emotion like being angry or being happy. It's just find the right thing that will help decrease the overwhelming feeling of being depressed & to help push it away every time it starts to resurface. It's hard, but gotta find something that will help kick depression's butt 8)
