Answers:
chrisatmudd gave you a wonderful answer. Meds are temporary and they last as long as you take them which is why people are told to take them as perscribed and inform you doctor if you make changes or stop taking them.
Therapy and meds is the best treatment for depression along with excersise and a healthy diet. Excersise alone can improve depression up to 50% because it releases neurotransmitters in the brain called dopamine which are resopnsible for our happy feelings. Therapy and meds can teach you how to manage depression and work through symptoms.
