Hi! I think I've had low grade depression from Junior High- eighth grade. It slowly got worse until I finally started medicine during my 30th year. Now I am 47 and continue to monitor my mental health daily. I've had varying degrees of depression throughout but always work to have a healthier life, assuming a healthy life that includes healthy relationships, communication skills, and a positive attitude would automatically lead to a joyful existence. So I guess it never has ended, just maintained. [emoji173]
