Does someone who suffer depression stops usage of drug?

Your question?: Are you asking about stopping your antidepressant medication? Please clarify. Never just stop a psychiatric medication without discussing with your doctor. They usually need to be tapered slowly.

I am not exactly: sure that I understand your question. There are many people who are treated with medications for depression that are eventually able to come off the medicine. However, one usually waits until the depression has been well treated for a period of time before tapering off of it. If I haven't answered the question that you were asking - then please clarify and re-ask. Take care.
