Chances of recovering from depression

There is actually no specific probability that depression will be cured, and many people will have some mild or severe forms of depression symptoms. Through treatment, those with milder symptoms of depression, better compliance and adherence to the whole treatment, especially those with first onset and shorter duration of illness, milder symptoms, adherence to treatment and no recurrence of symptoms, have relatively higher recovery rate, while the opposite recovery rate is lower. There are clinical results showing that the recovery rate decreases with the prolongation of depressive episodes and the aggravation of symptoms, so there are significant differences between depression recovery and individual clinical performance, or in following the treatment principles. Currently the best treatment for depression is medication, supplemented by psychotherapy. After systematic and standardized treatment with antidepressants, it is clinically found that more than 15% of patients are not cured, which means that at least 85% of patients can be cured by adhering to systematic and standardized treatment, and adhering to systematic and standardized treatment becomes the theme of depression treatment. In clinical treatment for depression, including medication, psychotherapy and physical therapy, these treatments can make most patients’ symptoms alleviate or significantly reduce, in the process of treatment to comply with medical advice, systematic and standardized treatment, individualized treatment or become the key to treatment. In the treatment process, especially for patients with first-episode depression, it is very important to adhere to the full amount, full course, and systematic standardized treatment. Clinical studies have also found that the clinical cure rate of depression patients in the first treatment is nearly 35%, while there is still a 20% chance of relapse during the whole process of treatment and recovery. Therefore, patients must pay attention to the systemic treatment in time if there are signs of relapse to prevent chronicity of the disease or residual symptoms, which may cause or affect various social functions. In addition, it is important to develop a regular lifestyle, improve the diet, and eat more foods rich in vitamin B and amino acids, such as cereals, fish, green vegetables, eggs and so on. You should also exercise more, do more outdoor sports, improve interpersonal relationships, and be happy and relaxed. It is also necessary to build up confidence and actively carry out treatment to reduce the risk of recurrence, so as to effectively improve the clinical cure rate.
