Hello & Welcome, RSha. I've suffered with depression for a long time, but when I read your post about starting both meds and therapy after 'only' four months of mild-to-moderate depression, I'm encouraged. I would expect your chances of full recovery are high -- much higher than many who do not seek or receive treatment for months and even years after symptoms appear.
