I'd highly doubt, just 1 week later, it would just come back to where it was?! Not sure, not a doctor here. Just personal experience.

When I took an AD, I was dealing with depression, in talk therapy, and was losing my mom to cancer and in the process of a divorce, at the same time.

When I came off the AD, mom had already passed on, my divorce was finalized, I was in a new job, about one year into that job and I was doing much better in my emotional life.
In your case depression was brought on by your emotions, once they had been eradicated end of depression. But for DEPRESSIVES most depression returns on a regular basis, if you have 2-3 episodes chances are you will have more an need to be monitored for the need of your life. YOU can have med free time but the chances of needing them again are high
