with a good therapist that knows what he/she is doing and sometimes with meds you can do better and not be depressed. but for being cured...i don't know about that. people get depressed and then they will be fine...

it is up to an individual, whether born with depression (as a result of some hereditary pre-disposition) or whether they become this way due to an event in their own life, to seek a means of counsel and to try to overcome depression. it may not be totally curable in some cases, but keeping faith and trusting in a higher power, both for the depressed and for the "counselor", will make the cure for it alot easier to handle. God bless.

Good question. My instinct would be no, you are not born with it. With deeper thought--sometimes it does seem to run in families (as well as anxiety attacts) so perhaps your genes lean torward being born with depression???? With medical help, it can become far better but perhaps not cured. I also feel that different circumstances could be different--if you have chronic or acute depression.

I think there certainly is a genetic link with depression and other mental ilnesses. There's treatment, but not a permanent "cure." It's something you need to stay aware of, ahead of and on top of your whole life. Sounds daunting, but it's do-able!

Depends on type of depression. The type I have is endogenous therefore I will take medication the rest of my life. Situational depression can go away

it depends on why you are depressed. most depression can be stabalized with meds or theropy. see a doctor while you recognize you have a problem.
