Is it possible to completely overcome depression or is there always the chance it will return?

I'm not a doctor sadly so I can't tell you 100% the answer. I can only tell you what my experience with depression has been. I've had it for 10 years approx. and some days have been worse than others. I think it'll always be there but it's up to the individual to seek help, stick to any medications there doctors may prescribe them and just...don't be hard on yourself. If you don't feel happy one day just take a time out. When you do feel help go out there and have some fun doing trying out new things or doing whatever it may be that you like. Just take care of yourself. :)

Even if it returns, so what? After you overcome something, you know that it is possible to do it again.

Yes it is possible to completely overcome depression because people do change. I strongly believe that with the right attitude depression can be eliminated.

Through my experience, i can say that you can fight depression. The thing you have to do is to keep guarding your mind from negative things. You have to feed it with good food. From good food, i mean to say that Read good books. Keep your thoughts positive. Have healthy food. Keep yourself busy with the things which make you feel lighter and Keep faith in GOD.

There is a chance it will return,it depends on what case it is.And how you react to it according to my opinion .

I think depression is something that can come and go for different reasons. Asking if it is possible to completely overcome it is same as asking if it is possible to completely overcome a cold. At the current moment sure. Yet you never know if reasons for it to happen will arise again - best you can do is do your best to overcome it when it happens, try to prevent it so it is less likely to happen, and be ready with the knowledge of how to deal with it in case it returns.

There are lots of people who completely overcome serious depression. Even after having it come back many times. Be it with lifestyle changes, self-work, therapy, or medication. Don't beat yourself up for when you get depressed again, and have hope for the future! But remember, even those without depression are sad sometimes. That's part of life.

For me, it returns. It helps me to have different methods in order to cope, so that if I do feel depressed, I can act to treat it before it gets worse. I treat it as I would a physical illness. If it does get bad, I take prescribed medication from a psychiatrist or visit my therapist. I hope this helps!

I myself don't believe it is possible to be completely rid of depression, simply because everyone in their lifetime gets depressed or may become chronically depressed. There MAY be a chance it would return, but that is why seeking help or advice brings a more positive outlook.

Yes it is possible to overcome depression completely with proper medical help and support frome close friends and family.
