I'm happy to hear that you feel you have conquered your personal experience with depression. It can seem to be a complicated illness, depending on the nature of environmental, social, biochemical and circumstances that influence it. Health professionals have had different experiences and offer a variety of views about it.
I posted an article in my blog on this subject that you may wish to read. For the research, I surveyed over 300 woman as to their perceived reasons for depression. Some of the profiles I chose to include explain how women perceived their depress ion and why they overcame it. Other profiles reveal certain underlying issues recur and seem to influence whether depression comes back or not. Your story may be very different, but hearing about other women may help you gain new insight into your own situation.
