Could there be a cure for depression?

Cure?: Depression is a cyclical disorder for many sufferers. If symptoms are controlled with medication or psychotherapy, there is a possibility for a long remission. However, many recur. There are many antidepressants that may be helpful and many in the investigation and testing phases of development. Adding a healthy diet and exercise can be very helpful.

Kinda sorta: There's no cure for depression in sense of an operation to remove appendix or repair broken hip. However, like diabetes & high blood pressure, depression can be managed w/medication. Response is 50% improvement. Remission is 100% improvement. Recovery is remission for >6mo. Relapse may occur between remission & recovery while recurrence may occur after recovery. Work closely w/your doctor.
