Myth or Fact

Good morning everyone,

"Myth: Once depressed, a person remains depressed throughout his/her life.
Fact: In most cases, depression lasts for a limited period. Adequate treatment leads to complete resolution of the symptoms and the person can return to a normal state of activity and health."
