I wish they had the hugs and likes buttons on here, useful doesn't fit the bill. But hugs to you @A MyDepressionTeam Member. A friend of mine says "You wouldn't worry so much about what people think of you if you realised how rarely they think of you" lol

A MyDepre...

My doctor once told me 6 months to two years.
However, i do believe there is no time limit. We all heal at our own pace. It also depends on what type of depression you have. My depression is hereditary. I have always had it . For me i never feel true happiness, sadness alway lurks underneath. Its just theres times that it becomes worse and at those times i need to increase my medication.
The worse depression i had lasted 3 yrs..

Most of my life until 6yrs ago i received appropriate meds which im still taking

So true be blessed.

There is no time limit on depression. It all depends on what type we have, what medications do or don't work, and how much energy we put into working on not letting the depression overwhelm us. It takes a lot more than medication and doctors. It takes faith in ourselves and the caring and support of others.
