Depression can be cured with medication. Most depressed patients can be clinically cured, that is, depressive symptoms basically or completely disappear, through a full dose and full course of antidepressant treatment, about 70-80% of patients can be clinically cured or basically cured. However, depression is a disease that is very prone to relapse, and it is possible that after more than one year of antidepressant treatment, more than half of the patients will relapse within five years. Therefore, after being cured by medication, you need to take some measures to prevent relapse during the remission period, such as psychological counseling or psychotherapy, so that patients can recognize their personality characteristics and enhance their ability to deal with difficulties and problems, so as to avoid relapse of depression soon or to reduce the degree and number of relapse of depression.
