No cure: There is no cure for depression but there are ways to manage the symptoms.If you haven't done so yet, see your dr. To be accurately diagnosed. There are medical disorders, such as hypothyroidism, that can mimic depression. Once you are accurately diagnosed, then your doctor can discuss treatment options.

Cured is a term...: Cured is a seldom used term. Most people recover and live comfortable lives even with major depression that is recurrent. However, cures are not available. Management of symptoms, learning techniques, and working at living a fuller life will help.
