*make sure you understand that everyone suffers from depression in different ways.*
I like to classify it into
two cattegories
either caused by trauma
or embeded into your chemical make-up and hereditory
usually depression caused by trauma will go away sometime, depending on how badly traumatized the
person was.
usually when depression is a chemical imbalance in your brain, it will never really go away. it will stay with you for the rest of your life, but can be treated by anti-depressants so you barely notice it if youre on a good one!
both are awful things to deal with.
with a
case of depression, one can see some sort of
doctor and the
doctor will or will not perscribe a medication such as prozac depending on what he/she thinks.
