I'm less confident about depression. But, I understand that long-term studies of CBT in anxiety disorders tend to include basically the same rate of relapse as med discontinuation, when treatment is stopped.
I'm guessing that it depends on the cohorts used in the study. Exogenous and endogenous depression are different animals IMO. Most people have exogenous depression, and even those who don't, typically have poor coping mechanisms or patterns of behavior that worsen the condition. God knows I sure do.
