  No it takes a life of its own. Get help if you need it.

    > Get help if you need it. Certainly. But you might want to read the article. The study cited looked at 250 people in the Netherlands with recurrent episodes of Major Depression. It found that after two years about 80% of them had gone 3 months without an episode. And this was -- approximately -- true regardless of whether they had been treated or not. (Yes, the world is full of people who tell those suffering from depression, "Just get over it," so it's easy to overreact to a title like the one on this article. OTOH, the article is not saying, "Just get over it.")
