Depression Does It End When Things Get Better...

[STARKISS]

Hi All,

I was just wondering if anyone knows how long depression lasts? I am on medication but I just wonder if I will ever get off the medication or is it here to stay? shelley

I don't know, as each of us is different. But I would talk to your Doc and ask him/her these questions. I'm sure they can guide you with this.

Shelly,

Depression is a unpredictable mood coinciding with grief, as a manic depressive, and my experiences with long bouts of depression, psychotherapy helps regulate it enough to allow the mind to cope with the loss adequately.

I think depression is different in everyone and how it effects there lives. i was on meds and did get off but that is not for everyone. i think if yu need the meds stay on them, there is nothing wrong with needing help. if you were diabetic or had a heart condition you would take them. talk your doctor and hopefully he is supportive and listens. lori
