>Major Depressive Episode, 5 years ago. I never sought treatment. I just kept on going. Exercising, and healthy diet. I graduated from college, and moved, and got married, and what do you know? The depression went away too!
I can only speak for myself, but when I'm having a major depressive disorder, it's often severe. That means, I can eat a healthy diet, but I'm not able to exercise, work, study or anything that requires just a tiny effort. Maybe you are a stronger person or the severity of your depression is not the same as mine.
>So, if lifestyle changes kicked depression's *ss the first time, does that mean that I've been sick all this time, but my life was preventing a relapse in symptoms?
Sorry, I don't understand this, where's the problem?
>I'm kind of hoping that I can get my issues sorted out and learn more self-awareness in psychotherapy, so that when the time comes to change meds/go OFF meds, I will be able to sustain my own mental stability.
what a dream.... ahhh!I agree, but will it ever come true(i.e. for me)?
