Natural therapy: Depression is not usually curable by western medications. Minimizes the symptoms. Many times recurrent. Family counselling helps. Read the book -Mind of your own by Kelly Brogan

With certain people depression is curable. It is not possible to predict but a combination of psychotherapy and medication is best. Once you are in remission please continue with psychotherapy treatment to help prevent remission. Please see a Clinical Psychologist with expertise in multiple types of psychotherapy to evaluate your problems and help you, and a Psychiatrist for medication management.
