Mother of four	Depression can be fatal. But does not have to be! I have known people to grieve themselves to death. This is all a choice you can make or chose not to chose but in all actuality that is a choice. There is counseling, medication, natural herbs, diet and exercise can make all the difference!

Justin M	The cure for depression is inside yourself...Only you can diagnose why you feel the way you do. Besides if you are depressed then you know happiness exists on the opposite side of the Spectrum why don't you set out on a journey and explore the other side? Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

peanutran	thats when you kick yourself in the butt, and say" hey i have family, friends, (f not God), i have a reason to live! i can get my head out of my ***, and be thankful i have life when so many unselfish people have died unmercifully!" there is no reason to be so selfish, thats what that statement you said told me. the only "cure" for depression is getting a really good wake up call. and only you are the one that can do that. if it be counseling, friends, family... or just yourself or one of the good people here. who knows, but nothing can be as bad as wanting dealth. if all else fails, you can pull your butt out of this if not to just prove to yourself and maybe other people in a support group it is possible! get a grip, figure out what is wrong and fix the thing.

mlmh48	I am a depressive and have been since I can't remember when. It is not fatal, but it feels like you can't seem to help yourself out of it. My most hated answer to to this question is "why don't you just pull yourself out of it " and "why don't you just pray yourself out of it".Well, while prayers are good for the soul, you still need something else. I've found that agood nights sleep, an interest in something you really like, and joining groups with similar interests/problems help. But the best thing is to find the best--well-suited psychiatrist . Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

nudle_2	No there are cures. Get some professional help . Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Mrs. WC	I've never heard depression called a disease. It's a disorder. There are two types of depression, clinical and psychological. Clinical is most often the result of a deficiency of a chemical the body makes naturally, like Lithium. Psychological is most often the result of a traumatic event in a person's life but not always. There are many reasons for psychological depression. The best thing to do is get blood work done to find out if you suffer from clinical depression. Those with clinical depression have to stay on meds. People who suffer from psychological depression need meds and therapy to find the underlying cause and to deal with it. Some of them are able to get off medication and live a "normal" life. I take care of the elderly and they tend to suffer from psychological depression because they've outlived their friends, some family, and feel like a burden to others. Medication keeps them levelled out so they don't have so many 'low' moments. People with bipolar disorder usually are on medication for life as most times it's associated with a chemical deficiency. Depression is not fatal in the sense that cancer or heart disease can be. The thoughts that go along with depression may cause a person to harm themselves, sometimes fatally.

Batman's Alter Ego	There might be no cure to depression, but there are methods to save you. like doing a hobby, if you enjoy watching happy movies, watch it. It'll stop your mind from thinking too much, you just have to remember at the beginning of the movie that what your watching is fictional, and thinking about it will not help you in any way. that way you can prolong depression. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

?	depression is a state of mind they give pills to alter the mind some good others bad and the only way to die from it is jumping off cliff or hitting a big truck head on even if you think it the depression will kill you it comes from the action of you or others. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

ryan d	there's a cure, It's called, get up, get out, and change your way of thinking. Listen, it's true that a "person is about as happy as they make up their own mind to be".. That means that you HAVE the cure.. Positive thinking, being happy, even in the face of sadness. There's so much good in the world, and so much to experience. Do you want to throw it away and let yourself slip into a deeper depression? If not, you CAN reverse the trend, but you have to do it on your own! Decide your fate! Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

MYRA C	Depression/anxiety whatever the label - many can be cured with assistance and can be caused by great stress, loss of a loved one, even loss of a job & income, this can be cured. However, clinical depression may require long treatment, medication, psychologists even psychiatrist but it can be managed. This is not considered a terminal illness. If you are speaking for yourself then make an appointment with your doctor and he may even recommend a specialist for you to speak with. Try not to worry about death just find out more about the process. We are born and live to the day we die and die we will sooner or later. However, I wish you a much brighter future ahead with something to look forward to besides the bottom line. I have lived with clinical depression for most of my life but I'm still here at 70 looking forward to a happy holiday season with family & friends. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

melissa.speer	Depression does have a cure. The cure is you. Talk to someone. I promise it will help. I spend two years deep in depression. I got a new job doing something I'm good at to help boost my self esteem. Then I bought one of those depression journals at borders. I followed it and did what it said. It really helped. I would recommend buying one. It doesnt really matter which one. Just remember that everything happens for a reason and that depression can be temporary. Fight it. Aren't your dreams worth fighting for? Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

diomedes44	Life is what you make it. We are in a society where we make pills for everything except diseases. Can't sleep, here is a pill, can't control your kids, jack them up on this, you're unhappy, ok take this. It is ridiculous. All of these mental problems that people are having occur because we do not work together as a society. We need support, all people do. Human interaction is the cure to depression, but people are work jobs they hate and driving long distances to get there so human interaction is out of the question when these sour pill popping beings get home. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

D M	who said no cure for depression? drug companies, shrinks...they all want your money (or your insurance company's) check out curezone.com for lots of natural alternatives that really work. Removing the silver/mercury fillings from my teeth helped me tremediously, my doctor just wanted me on drugs, which caused other problems so she wanted to give me more drugs for those problems.... never-ending cycle. Nutrition can help and cure most our ailments (except broken legs and such :) as for no cure = fatal... we are all going to die, most due to ignorance and trusting our doctors and not eating right! research & question everything Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

John's mommy	other than drugs, no there are no cures for depression. But you are not going to die from it unless you allow yourself to slip down to that state. I once was severely depressed. I took Prozac, saw a therapist/psychologist, and still tried to commit suicide twice. Then one day during that last attempt a friend called me as I was going to end it all, and I decided what I was doing was stupid and I would never be like that again. I still have my ups and downs, and I still get depressed from time to time, but NEVER that way. You have to pick yourself up and make yourself happy or else you will die. Good luck. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

It's only me.	You will only die from it if you take your own life. If you are depressed, go talk to your doctor or a trusted adult or friend. You can get help! Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

jamsoftheweek	just because there is no cure doesnt mean its terminal or certainly fatal - and certainly doesnt mean that its not treatable. if you are depressed or worry all the time it may affect your health and end up shaving years off of your life, but sooner or later youre going to die anyway. if you need treatment, get it. life is beautiful - you only have one and you're wasting it if youre not enjoying it!!! Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Fight for your life , dont begin to see death as the answer for solving the problem of depression. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

thsp	Yes there is....I am living proof of it. If you need meds, take meds. AND create a purpose for living. Volunteer your time, go back to school, take up a new hobby, learn something new, set goals and get busy attaining them. When the ugly voices in your start in about WHY you can't do those things (like you don't have the money, you're not smart enough, you don't know how to, nobody likes you everybody hates you...whatever) try it anyway....even when you're scared Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

John A	me and you share some thing in common. I also suffer from severe depression but don't do any thing stupid because you will regret it for the rest of your life. go see a therapist and get medications. Then do something that you REALLY enjoy and continue doing it until you find another activity and talk to people. Talk to your friends, family, and other people you trust. It worked for me and I bet 99.9% that it will work for you. Cheer up You got friends. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No
