Dr Kramer - I have the same question

In reply to Kramer: does depression ever stay in remission?, posted by allisonm on April 3, 2002, at 7:41:57

I can't say that I've ever reached quite as enduring a stage of remission as Allison, but my profile is not dissimilar and I might be where she has been if I made the major kind of lifestyle change that she did.
I too know and accept that I'm on the ADs for life plan, but what I don't really understand is what chronic, somewhat treatment resistant depression means in terms of an anticipated quality of life. Is a lasting remission possible, or is it more likely that people such as us will always face intermittent bouts of major depression, perhaps in spite of positive lifestyle changes we might make?
Thanks
Mair
