Yes!   Depression is very treatable. Between 80-90% of people can be helped with treatment- even those with the most serious forms of depression. Various forms of antidepressants and different types of psychotherapists (psychologists, psychiatrists, and counselors) are all different forms of treating depression. Most people who are depressed do really well with a combined treatment (medicine and psychotherapy). The most important step toward overcoming depression, and often times the most difficult, is to ask for help!
