There's no real way of knowing. You may, you may not. It depends on how you handle it. If you believe you will struggle for the rest of your life, you may. Try to be positive!

Will you struggle with depression for the rest of your life? No. Only if you don't let the depression to be more powerful than you. Say No! To depression. Go out, spend time with friends and family, craft something, dance, play, travel. You can do so much more than just sit and cry. Just do it, you are strong and you can make it!

Not necessarily. First of all, you can't think too negatively about how long your depression will last, because with a positive outlook, you're more likely to heal faster. But if you feel as if you'll have depression for the rest of your life, consider evaluating yourself to clearly see your emotions.

For many people, it is clinical and will eventually leave! Chances are that it will leave and you will recover from it.

This is not a permanent situation that you are facing this is going to end and you will even not remember it after some time you will move on the thing you should only remember is that you should fight in every situation your best and you will win it

No you will not. If you get help and surround yourself with people who hold your hand through it, you will overcome and defeat depression.

Hopefully not. It honestly really just depends on your situation and what type of depression you have. I have a type of depression that is genetic, so I will have to struggle with it because I physically am unable to make certain types of chemicals that enable my brain to feel happy. I take medications and those help, but I continue to feel depressed on the weekly. I utilize my coping skills to help myself so I can be safe and get back to being my happy, normal self. Some types of depression are seasonal, so you may only have to deal with it once or twice every year. Other types of depression are situational-based, and once you find a way to overcome whatever triggered that depression, it can go away. The answer I want to give you is no, but it truly depends. Hopefully things work out the best for you, and even if they seem incredibly dark and hopeless right now, it does improve. You can still get better even if you have depression forever. c:

No. Things will always get better. While depression may not always go away permanently, you wont have to constantly struggle with it as you can learn how to COPE with it
