Discuss with your: Psychiatrist. Conditions may be in remission and may get exacerbated with life stressors.

No: may have resolved an episode of depression but if you were diagnosed with depression you probably have that diagnosis for life unless it was only situational depression. You can have periods without medications but if you recognize new symptoms then it is important to see your health care provider.
