Hey guys, just a quick question. My gf has had issues with depression for like a year to year and a half. I was wondering, does depression ever go away to the point where you don't need meds to function like a non-depressed person would? Thanks

she's right!
Some people only need it for a short term.. others need it forever... some others need it long term, but not forever. It all depends on how they react to the medication. I didn't need mine for that long.... but I definitely needed them when I did!
