Not yet: Depression is a chronic, recurring, complex neurobiologic disorder with multiple genetic and environmental underpinnings. Medicine hasn't developed a "cure" yet, but many treatments are effective and long term. See a psychiatrist and psychologist for long term help. Medications and counseling are the best treatment options. You should consult your psychiatrist or specialist to restart treatment.
