Answers:
Some people are born with a lower chemical in the brain that balances out happiness and sadness and if they go on medication for that, it restores that chemical reaction in the brain.
On the other hand, people go through traumatic and sad times and it is perfectly alright to feel depressed during those tomes, it is a matter of how we heal from the inside out.

It really just depends. If it is caused my a chemical imbalance you may need to be treated forever. If it is due to a situation you may not suffer forever. The good thing is even if you lived with it forever it is very treatable. I got diagnosed 12 years ago and am now 30 and happy as can be. I lost my mom 5 months ago and as hard as it is, I am still very happy overall, of course I miss her and am sad she is gone, but it is not any more severe because I am "depressed". I just stay on my meds so I am "normal". I hope this helps you out some. Just do some research on it as well. You will be just fine.Health Question & Answer
Depression may show up only once in your life or many times either way it is a life long illness. Some people get lucky and go into a kind of "remission" and never have another episode. I wish I was one of those. I know this because I asked my psych. this same question. Sorry, I truly hope yours is once in a lifetime!Health Question & Answer
Nope! You can get over it!!! Go to your doctor and they should give you some depression pills...but honey why are you depressed.?.?.? You may also want to go see a councilor if you are having thoughts of suicides. But it is a mental illness but can go away. You are the one who controls it! =) hope I could help! GOOD LUCK!!!!!!!!!!Health Question & Answer
