A member asked:

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Probably: Depression is a recurrent illness ( one episode 70% chance of reoccurance three or more 100% chance) Meds control but don't cure. Also especially with SSRIs sometimes when you stop & restart them they aren't as effective--discuss with your doc--he/she may advise you to stay on meds
