They were able to get to the core issues of their depression and address/overcome them and make changes that were necessary.

I simply do not think it is that simple...lol I know core issues that contirubuted to mine such as being bullied yes I have addressed that, still see it as an unpleasant experience that has still contributed to my ongoing mental issues there is no way to adress that any further...it happened, made me feel like crap and contributed to mental issues....same for any other social/environmental factors that contributed...what more is there to address.
Also don't see why I should have to hope I will finally be 'cured' in order to be considered to have hope...as I have said I like to think I will be able to manage my depression and other issues a bit better, I just do not think I can realistically expect it to all entirely go away so I will spend my energy on more important things such as how to manage it now, if I can change anything in my life to improve the quality of it....dwelling on hoping I'll be cured seems like a waste of time and kind of impractical there are other long term ideas I care more about than a vauge concept of 'recovery' I can't recover from life if I am still living it.
