A member asked:
Do depressive symptoms continue during treatment?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Gradual recovery: Treatment for depression is a gradual process. This is true whether you use prescribed medications, psychotherapy, or both. But, there should be a gradual improvement in your symptoms. Social & relationship issues, other medical conditions, plus ongoing substance abuse can make recovery take longer.
