Risk relapse is real: If you can stay well for over 18 months, risk is reduced to 50/50

Good chance.: Even if you've conquered a depressive episode in the past, the situations that occur in life can trigger another depressive episode if you're so hard-wired. Be wary of your symptoms and their severity, and seek psychological help.
