Will it ever go away? Why does my depression keep coming back just when I think it's all better?

The hardest part about depression is facing the reality that it may never go away. It really depends on the individual; however, by finding different things that help you to forget about it or at least think less about it it will improve and, over time, the out look of those that are depressed will grow and change into something much better.

Both yes and no. Yes, it will go away at some point in your life; you're going to have good days, with smiles and laughs and things going the way you wanted. But some days, you are going to wake up with that same awful feeling and want to stay in bed all day. It's never going to completely go away, but years from now, you'll be able to get through it alive and well. Life is full of ups and downs; if it was all ups, we would never appreciate them because there are no downs to compare them to! But in the end, it'll all be alright.

Many factors may cause a long-lasting depression. In my case it was a thyroid deficiency. Consult a professional- psychologist, family doctor, psychiatrist etc. for further treatment.

It will go away, but you have to keep looking forward. The more dedication you put into it, the less it will affect you and ever try to come back at you again. That's why keeping at it is crucial.

It won't necessary go away completely, depression mostly comes back if something made you upset and drowned in that place and once you overcome sadness in one place it might not for another.

Well if you're not taking medication to help, that might be why. But if you are taking medication then it may need to be adjusted.

I think depression never goes away, Its like getting control on depression. Same like anger, You do get angry whatever you do but what you need to achieve is control on your anger, same is the case with depression, you have to learn how to control and when it is coming back means you are loosing control. :)

With the right help and support your depression will go away but you should seek help if it's a severe problem.

I don't believe that depression will ever just go away. We can have good times in our life but we can also have bad times. Depression can catch us at any time, anywhere. I still get depressive episodes, and sometimes it can be for no reason at all. It's okay to have depressive times in your life as life isn't just straight forward, it can be challenging. You are always welcome to talk with a listener here if you feel that you need some more support when you are feeling depressed. It does often feel like it catches up to you when you are having a period of good mental health.

you might have chronic depression. besides it's difficult to come in terms with the negative things in your life. it might take a lifetime. give yourself some chance.
