Hey everyone,

I'm wondering, can you have a relapse of depression even when you're taking antidepressants?

Absolutely! Sometimes even if the antidepressant had been working before, it may stop working for you and you need to switch meds or increase the dose. Unfortunately, while medication can help, it's not necessarily a "cure".
Thanks for this!

^scaredandconfused has it right. You can always relapse back into depression, it tends to have that habit.

It can definitely happen.. It happens to me sometimes, as well.
