Shouldn't I be able to get over depression on my own?

Most people cannot get over depression by themselves. Although it is a battle that only you are able to fight there are other people that can provide support and service to help you fight better and help restore yourself after the battle. Although you fight alone, other assist in helping. No one is ever completely alone.

You might, but too often you wont, because all people needs support and care, and having someone to talk to will help you to realise things you havent realised before

patients who suffer from clinical depression need all the support they can get, including whatever medical approach might be advisable. It can be risky to ignore depression because in some cases when left untreated it can be life-threatening. About two thousand years ago, Jesus Christ acknowledged that those with medical experience could provide needed help, when he said that ‘those who are ill need a physician.’ (Mark 2:17) The fact is that physicians can do much to alleviate the suffering of many depressed patients. 

At its core, clinical depression is very physical, even when it doesn't seem like it. It's the disruptance of how chemicals are transmitted between brain cells. Thereotically you could get better by yourself, but I think it's as likely as trying to recover from two broken legs without getting medical attention. But even more importantly, there's nothing wrong with asking for help. You might be feeling guilty for burdening others, weak for struggling when you think you shouldn't be, helpless not knowing what to do, and whatever you are feeling is okay and accepted. It's a lot to deal with, and there's nothing wrong with sharing the crushing weight of the sea with someone else. You are allowed to ask for help.

Depression is a serious mental illness and it requires professional help in my opinion. Having a mental illness is difficult and there is no shame in asking for help. You are not weak for needing help. So to answer your question, I would say no.

its very easy to think that we can get through our depression on our own. Sometimes, we can get through it, but generally, without help, we risk the chance of it coming back again. the issues behind the depression really need to be addressed, and having someone to talk through it all can be very beneficial

It is possible by giving yourself time. But finding help in others can lift improvement in your life

It really depends, there are some implications Sometime we need the help of professional , therapist and all If we are surrounded by compassionate people , am sure we must be able to get over it on our own

It's okay to need help with your depression, its also okay to deal with it alone. Yet sometimes a little help can make the biggest difference.

Its hard to get over a feeling like depression. There is no one answer fits all. If you are having trouble getting over depression and are suffering.Perhaps speaking to a counselor or therapist can help.
