For some it can be short term, related to a life event, while others have it more severely and for longer period. It is not fixed, predictable, or unresolvable, you can overcome, free self of it.. If some people have so can others. The key is getting to the underlying issues, understanding the triggers/factors that can send you down into depression and finding what works best for you personally, focusing on what is of value, important to you personally, what's positive,helpful, constructive, worthwhile, regardless of what others think.

You say you acknowledge not everyone sees or experiences depressoin the same and that how long it lasts can vary depending on the person ect. then go on to tell people you know nothing about what they are able to do....seems judgemental towards people who are not able to overcome it...since you just say 'you can overcome it' in reference to everyone well no if everyone could just up and overcome it don't you think most of us here in the depression forum would have already done that? And people are saying they don't feel they can, even have legitimate reasons to feel that way and you just keep repeating 'you can overcome it' very frusterating to people who don't so easily overcome it or who never do.
Not everyone is capable of the exact same things, just because one person can do something doesn't mean everyone else can. Also living in the society I live in triggers/factors into my depression I can't very well just up and entirely leave society as appealing as that is and even if I could that would not entirely fix my mental state as its not the 'only' factor...I know and understand plenty of the factors of my depression, doesn't make it go away.
